Verified step by step guidance

Understand the question: The problem is asking which of the listed polymers are composed of amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, so we need to identify which polymer fits this description.

Review the options: The options provided are Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic acids, and Polysaccharides. Each of these is a type of biological macromolecule with distinct building blocks.

Recall the building blocks of each polymer: Lipids are composed of fatty acids and glycerol, Proteins are composed of amino acids, Nucleic acids are composed of nucleotides, and Polysaccharides are composed of monosaccharides (sugars).

Match the polymer to amino acids: From the above, only Proteins are made up of amino acids. This is because proteins are formed by peptide bonds linking amino acids in a specific sequence.

Conclude the answer: Based on the analysis, the correct polymer composed of amino acids is Proteins.
