No, definitely not.
An amino acid is a building block, a constituent, the base unit of polypeptides and thus of proteins. There are 20 different amino acids (valine, lysine, aspartate, glutamate, glycine, tryptophan, phenylalanine and so on). An amino acid has a central carbon group, attached to which are an amine group (NH2), a carboxylic acid group (COOH), a hydrogen and an R group. The R groups is the only part that differs from amino acid to amino acid and thus defines the amino acid.
A nucleic acid is a genetic molecule. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) are nucleic acids. They are polynucleotides, made up of a phosphate-sugar backbone and nitrogenous bases of which there are four types: adenine, thymine (uracil in RNA), cytosine and guanine. A single nucleotide is a single 'unit' such as this: a phosphate, sugar and base combination. DNA's sugar is deoxyribose, RNA's sugar is ribose.

No actually, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Why bacteria make their own folic acid?
Both humans and bacteria need folic acid to grow. While folic acid can cross the membrane of a human cell and enter the cell, it cannot cross the cell wall of bacteria, according to Charles Ophardt, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of the Department of Chemistry at Elmhurst College in the "Virtual Chembook." Thus, bacteria have to make their own folic acid. They will then use the folic acid to make DNA, RNA and methionine. Methionine is an amino acid that is used to make various substances like cysteine, another amino acid, and S-adenosyl methionine, a substance used in many biochemical reactions.
