    Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. They contain nitrogen unlike carbohydrates and lipids. Proteins can be found in both animal foods like meat and fish and plant foods like fruits and vegetables. The monomer of a protein is an amino acid. Amino acids bond together in chains called polypeptides. These polypeptide chains are held together by peptide bonds and form during the release of water. There are 20 different amino acids that make up proteins and determine their various shapes and functions in the human body.
