An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA).
Therefore an amino acid is to a protein as a nucleotide is to a nucleic acid.

Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
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)
What statement best describes nucleic acids?
Nucleic acids are polymers. They are made of monomers Nucleotides.
What is the monomer of Nucleic Acids?
monomer of nucleic acids are a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base
What is the monomer of a protein polymer?
The monomers of proteins are known as amino acids....A further explanation:Do not confuse amino acids with nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and are another one of the BIG 4 macromolecules that are needed to survive.The 4 are:Carbohydrates (monomer: monosaccaride)Proteins (monomer: amino acids)Lipids (monomer: fatty acids)Nucleic Acids (monomer: nucleotides)
What are the sub-units or monomers for nucleic acids?
Amino acids
What does the code for genetic information change to during translation?
Nucleic Acids to Amino Acids--APEX
Which nucleotides build proteins?
No, nucleotides ar e the building blocks for nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA. The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.
Is a nucleic acid made up of amino acids?
No. A nucleic acid is made up of nucleotides. Proteins are made up of amino acids.
Molecules of DNA are composed of a long chain are called?
A DNA molecule is composed of long chains of DNA nucleotides.
What are the monomers that make up proteins and nucleic acids?
Monosaccharides, amino acids, nucleotides
Amino acids is to proteins as?
Nucleotides are to Nucleic Acid or Fatty Acids are to Triglycerides
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)
What structure in DNA is an amino acid?
There is none. DNA is a nucleic acid composed of nucleotides. There are no amino acids in DNA.
How Both Nucleic Acids aNd Proteins And Polymers?
A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeated subunits called monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers that are made up of monomers called nucleotides. Protein is a polymer made of monomers called amino acids.
What is the polymer and monomer for the macromolecules?
For carbohydrates they are monosaccharides. For proteins,amino acids. For lipids glycerol and fatty acids. For nucleic acids nucleotides.
Nucleic acids are long chains of amino acids?
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is made up of chains of nucleotides.
