Question

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

Explanation:

Amino acids have an amino - group which contains nitrogen. Fatty acids are composed mainly of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and sugars (carbohydrates) also contain only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Genetic material (nucleic acids) is made of nucleotides which do not contain amino acids. Fatty acids and sugars are energy - providers. All three (amino acids, fatty acids, sugars) can be building blocks to larger molecules.

Answer:

A. Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
