Here's why:
* Monomers of proteins are amino acids.
* Peptide bonds are formed between the amino group (-NH2) of one amino acid and the carboxyl group (-COOH) of another amino acid. This bond links the amino acids together to form a chain, known as a polypeptide.
* Proteins are made up of one or more polypeptide chains.
