Proteins
Amino acids are typically odorless. However, when they undergo chemical reactions, they can produce various smells depending on the specific compounds formed.
Long chains of amino acids are called polypeptides.
Amino acids contain both the amino (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) groups. Proteins are formed by amino acids.
Polypeptides are made up of amino acids, which are organic compounds containing an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain. Amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, formed through a condensation reaction between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain determines its unique three-dimensional structure and function.
Their are 20 base amino acids. The body can produce 12 of them- the other 8 need to be obtained from food.
There are 20 naturally occurring amino acids found in living things.
Ammonia is produced in cells primarily as a byproduct of amino acid metabolism. Amino acids undergo deamination, a process in which the amino group is removed to produce ammonia. This ammonia can then be incorporated into other cellular processes or converted into less toxic compounds for excretion.

No, amino acids are not nucleic acids. Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins, whereas nucleic acids are biological macromolecules that store genetic information, such as DNA and RNA.
No, protein is not made out of RNA strands. Proteins are composed of amino acids, while RNA is a nucleic acid that plays a role in protein synthesis. RNA is involved in translating the genetic information encoded in DNA into the sequence of amino acids that make up proteins.
