no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons
1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two
functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic
group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are
present.
2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of
lipids(FATS).

What functional group found in amino acids is absent from monosaccharides polysaccharides fatty acids and glycerol?
-NH2
What is the basic structure of a triglyceride?
gycerol bound to 3 fatty acid is triglyceride..gylcerol a 3 carbon skeleton with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon, Fatty acid= a caboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton the function triglyceride is to store energy in form of fatty acids, most efficient and compact way of storing energy
What two parts make up a lipid?
a glycerol and 3 fatty acids for a generic fat. a phosphate group, glycerol and two fatty acid chains for a phospholipid...
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
What kind of lipid breaks down into glycerol and phosphate?
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
Do fatty acids and glycerol both contain an amino group?
No - neither of them do.
What functional group found in amino acids is absent from monosaccharides polysaccharides fatty acids and glycerol?
-NH2
What are subunits that make up fat?
Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.
Do amino acids amino have an amino group?
No,fatty acids don't have an amino group
To which biomolecule group do fatty acids monosaccharides amino acids and nucleotides belong?
Fatty acids and monosaccharides belong to the biomolecule group Proteins and Amino Acids.
What are the component of phospholipid?
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
Does glycerol have an amino group?
No. An amino group contains one nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms, and are found in amino acids. Glycerol is a molecule that when bonded to three fatty acids, forms a triglyceride molecule.
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
carboxyl group
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
Are a kind of lipid that consists of two fatty acids and phosphate group?
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
What group did you find in the amino acids that was also presented in fatty acids?
Carboxilic group -COOH
What is the basic structure of a triglyceride?
gycerol bound to 3 fatty acid is triglyceride..gylcerol a 3 carbon skeleton with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon, Fatty acid= a caboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton the function triglyceride is to store energy in form of fatty acids, most efficient and compact way of storing energy
