Amino acids are the basic monomer that forms polypeptides.
Nucleic acids are very long polymers that are composed of phosphate-sugar-nitrogenous base units. In double-stranded nucleic acids, adenine forms bonds with either uracil or thymine. Cytidine will only form hydrogen bonds with guanine.
The common element in both nucleic acids and protein structure is nitrogen. Nitrogen is a key component of both nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) where it forms part of the nucleotide bases, and in proteins where it is found in amino acids as part of the protein backbone.

The monomer of nucleic acids is nucleotides. Nucleotides consist of a phosphate group, a sugar molecule (ribose or deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, cytosine, thymine, or uracil).

Ribonucleic acid
The common element in both nucleic acids and protein structure is nitrogen. Nitrogen is a key component of both nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) where it forms part of the nucleotide bases, and in proteins where it is found in amino acids as part of the protein backbone.

A triglyceride forms when a glycerol molecule combines with three fatty acids through dehydration synthesis. Triglycerides are a type of lipid that serves as a storage form of energy in organisms.
