No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in a different category than are lipids, which can also be classified as fats. Examples of lipids are phospholipids (in cell membranes), steroids, glycerols and fatty acids, and cholesterol. If you want to know more about the role of amino acids in Protein synthesis (because this is why they exist at all--to make protein), then I would look at this presentation: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1302

What molecules make up proteins?
amino acids
Organic compounds that can be made from the products of the Calvin cycle include what?
Carbohydrates, amino acids, and lipids can be made form the products of the Calvin cycle.
Are lipids made of chains of amino acid?
No, that's proteins
Give an example of polypeptide?
Protein.
Some amino acids are essential because lipids cannot be synthesized if they are not present?
No. Some proteins can not be synthesized without them. Amino acids make up protiens.
Do lipids deliver amino acids?
Lipids include all fats and so it doesn't follow that they deliver amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
What molecules make up proteins?
amino acids
What is a protein chain of linked smaller molecules called?
amino acids or lipids? Amino acids
What are the molecular building blocks of lipids?
amino acids
Where amino acids are joined to made a?
proteins and lipids
Organic compounds that can be made from the products of the Calvin cycle include what?
Carbohydrates, amino acids, and lipids can be made form the products of the Calvin cycle.
Do lipids produce proteins?
no nucleic acids do though!
Differentiate amino acids from carbohydrates and lipids?
well the main differentiation is this that amino acids are protein,carbohydrates are sugars while lipids are fats that's the main differentiation between these three
Are lipids made of chains of amino acid?
No, that's proteins
How do amino acids bond?
Amino acids bond by getting the lipids acids and taking it threw the precipation cycle threw the nucleus molecules and ends in the kidneys.
Give an example of polypeptide?
Protein.
What is the building block of proteins?
amino acids
