Lipids (that's fats/oils) are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen.
Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen oxygen (just in a different ratio to lipids).
However, amino acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, AND nitrogen.

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
What are nutritions found in carbohydrates in the body?
Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are digested in the intestine, where they are broken down into their basic units.Carbohydrates into sugars,Proteins into amino acids,Fats into fatty acids and glycerol
What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
What 1 element distingushes proteins from carbohydrates and fats?
Nitrogen. Proteins are made from amino acids , Carbohydrates and fats are simple/complex hydrocarbon compounds.
Is oxygen present in protein but not in fats?
Nitrogen is the element present in all proteins except carbohydrates and fats. Amino acids make up all proteins, and they contain the amino group NH2, except for carbohydrates and fats.?æ
What happens if your cells have plenty of amino acids?
If your cells do not have enough amino acids, the amino acids from the proteins you eat are shipped to your cells so that your cells can make the proteins they need. If your cells have plenty of amino acids, the amino acids from the proteins you eat are converted into carbohydrates or fats.
Are carbohydrates made of amino acids?
No, amino acids make up proteins.
Do carbohydrates have an amino group?
Yes because there is a carboxyl in a amino acid and one in a carbohydrate.
What are carbohydrates fats and proteins broken down to in the small intestine?
Carbohydrates and fats are broken down in the digestive tract into the simple sugars, glucose, fructose, and galactose. The latter two can be converted by the body into glucose, which is distributed throughout the body via the bloodstream and is broken down into Carbon Dioxide and water in the mitochondria of cells. Proteins are broken down into their constituent amino acids, which are used to assemble new proteins throughout the body.
Are oils carbs?
No. Fats and oils are fats. Carbohydrates are sugars, grains and usually come from plants. Proteins are amino acids that usually come from meat, beans or soy.
Why can't your body produce proteins from carbohydrates and fats alone?
They would only supply our body with 12 of the 20 amino acids needed to make proteins. The other 8 are reffered to as the essential amino acids and we have to get them from foods.
How are amino acids joined to form fats?
no
