Well, there are technically four macromolecules essential to life...they are the lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Amino acids correspond to the proteins, so yes, they are a basic unit of life. However, they are not the only basic unit, because there are others. See, life could not exist as we know it without amino acids, but couldn't with justamino acids as well.

Why is glutamic acid an acidic amino acid and lysine a basic amino acid?
Glutamic acid has a carboxylic acid (COO-) group on the gamma carbon of the amino acid. The carboxylic acid group carries a negative charge and is considered acidic. Lysine has a amino group (NH3+) on the zeta carbon of the amino acid. The positively charged group on the terminal carbon atom makes it an basic amino acid.
