Proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers. Proteins are the chemical "workhorses" and "structural building blocks" of living things. We need to eat foods containing proteins so that we can take them apart to their component amino acids, then later reassemble those amino acids to make our own proteins as we lack the ability to synthesize amino acids ourselves.
