A better comparison would be that amino acids make up protein similarly to the way that sugar makes up starch. Fat is not composed only of sugars.

What does copper do for a plant?
• Is needed for photosynthesis and respiration • Important in carbohydrate and protein metabolism. • Affects the flavor and the sugar of the fruits. • Helps several enzyme systems with building and converting amino acids to proteins. •
What is relationship between amino acids and nucleotides?
Nucleotides serve as the building blocks for the construction of nucleic acid. Each nucleotide consists of three parts, a sugar, a phosphate, and one of the nitrogenous lases.
What is different about amino acids and glucose?
Glucose is a simple sugar, with the formula C6H12O6, whilst an amino acid is formed with peptide bonds, larger amino acids are often known as proteins. Look at any food packet to see the difference.
What is the process of assembling amino acids int a protein from a RNA molecule?
very much no!. RNA is Ribonucleic Acid, including 4 bases (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and uracil) a ribose sugar and a phosphate sugar. Amino acids comprise of an amino group (NH2+) a Carboxcylic acid group(COOH) and a carbon based R group. The chemicals required for each dont even overlap. Youre getting mixed up with the fact that RNA is used to know what amino acids to make. messenger RNA (mRNA) if created by the cell as a copy of the DNA which says what protein to make. every three bases says one amino acid. The mRNA goes to the ribosome where the mRNA is read, and it attracts the correct transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule there, each holding on to a different amino acid (there are 20 different ones) The amino acids are bound together and all the proteins are happy etc So RNA is just the plans that are read to make the amino acids, and the RNA molecules that help. They are not actually converted into them!
Is amino acid a basic unit of a sugar molecule?
i don't think they are, amino acids contain something that sugars don't, and glucose (a simple sugar) is not a protein.
What are building blocks of disaccharides?
monosaccharide
What is the basic building block of protein and carboydrates?
Generally speaking proteins are build up with amino acids and carbohydrates are build from "sugar" rings, which is build up from C, H an O's obeying Cm(H2O)n.
Is folic acid an amino acid?
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.
Nutrients like sugar amino acids and fatty acids are absorbed into the lining of the?
small intesine
When does protein catabolism usually occur?
Protein catabolism is the breakdown of the proteins into the amino acids which are the basic constituents of the protein. In digestion process the proteins get converted into amino acids and used for the repair and building process of cells. The excess of amino acid get converted into fat and sugar and get stored into liver. Due to illness or prolonged starvation when the body does not get adequate energy, this excess of amino acid in the form of fats or sugar get breakdown and provides energy.
Building blocks of sugar?
it depends on what biomolecule it is.. for carbohydrates, the building block is glucose. for protein is lipid, for fats are glycerol and fatty acids and for nucleic acid are nucleotides..
Are simple sugar and amino acids needed for synthesis of larger molecules?
yes
Do carbohydrates have an amine group?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).
Is protein made up of nucleic acids?
Proteins are made of amino acids which are made of chains of hydrophobic-hydrophllic connections that make up a polypeptide chain. Nucleaic acids are made up of nucleotides which are made up of a sugar-phosphate back bone and a nitrogen base (adenosine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine) (lolz i dont understandignore mii thoo)
Are there amino acids in nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids are formed by a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group and nitrogen base (purines and pyrimidines).
