Proteins are made of amino acids. Carbohydrates, DNA and fat are not made of amino acids.
Protein is the building block of life. Most of the structures (e.g. feathers, hair, the external skeleton of insects, the sting of a bee and a jelly fish, etc.) found in nature are made of proteins.
Even single celled organisms must rely on proteins. The cell membrane is made of proteins and lipids, and the flagellum of single cell organisms is also made of protein.
