Question

what makes amino acids unique from fatty acids and sugars? (1 point)
genetic material is made of nucleotides, which contain amino acids; fatty acids and sugars are not part of genetic material.
amino acids are building blocks to larger molecules; fatty acids and sugars are not.
amino acids make up proteins, which provide energy for the body; fatty acids and sugars to not provide energy.
amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.

Explanation:

Amino acids have an amino - group (-NH2) which contains nitrogen. Fatty acids are composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and sugars (carbohydrates) also consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They lack nitrogen - containing functional groups like amino acids. Genetic material is made of nucleotides which contain nitrogenous bases, not amino acids. All three (amino acids, fatty acids, sugars) can be building blocks to larger molecules. Fatty acids and sugars do provide energy for the body.

Answer:

Amino acids contain Nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
