An organic compound that is made of amino acids
Real World Example
Imagine trying to build a complex piece of furniture from a box of seemingly random parts without any instructions. Proteins in our bodies are like that furniture, as they are complex structures made from smaller building blocks called amino acids. Just as each piece of furniture requires specific parts to fit together correctly, proteins require specific sequences of amino acids to form properly, functioning as the essential components for numerous biological processes in our bodies.
