Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that proteins are large biomolecules made up of smaller repeating units called monomers.
Recall that the monomers of proteins are specifically known as amino acids, which link together via peptide bonds to form polypeptides.
Recognize that nucleotides are the monomers of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), not proteins.
Know that fatty acids are components of lipids, and monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates, so neither is related to protein monomers.
Therefore, identify that the correct monomer unit of a protein is an amino acid.
