Because mutations do not always result in an amino acid change.
An autotroph is an organism capable photosynthesis or chemosynthesis through reducing carbon dioxide, fats, sugars and/or proteins in a repetitive cycle of energy production and use to support its life. these include all plants, algae and certain bacterium.
its counterpart is the heterotroph which is reliant on outside sources for their means of energy. aka tertiary consumer: animals, fungi and certain bacterium
Answer:
The key elements of an amino acid are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), and nitrogen (N).
Glucose is a hydrocarbon, so it contains carbon (C), and hydrogen (H). It also contains oxygen (O).
Nucleic acids are complex arrangements of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous.

The term "lipid" does not specify a particular chemical structure. Whereas one can write a general formula for an amino acid, nucleic acid, or protein, lipids are much more chemically diverse. Compounds are categorized as lipids based on their greater solubility in organic solvents than in water.
