A monomer is one unit of a polymer, "mono" meaning one and "poly" meaning many.
Amino acids are the building blocks (or monomers) of a protein, and there are 20 different ones, all with the same basic structure (and amine (NH) group on one end and a carboxyl group (COOH) on the other).

Indeed, Amino Acid is the correct answer.

20 of those amino acids. Well 20 plus 2. Everybody always leaves out seleno-cystein and n-formyl methionine. Poor bacteria would be screwed without them.
