Understand that proteins are large biomolecules made up of smaller units called monomers.
Recall that the monomers that polymerize to form proteins are amino acids, which link together via peptide bonds.
Recognize that nucleotides are the monomers for nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), not proteins.
Know that fatty acids are building blocks of lipids, and monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates.
Conclude that the correct monomers for proteins are amino acids.
