The correct response that highlights the uniqueness of amino acids compared to fatty acids and sugars is:
**Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.**
Amino acids are characterized by the presence of an amino group (which contains nitrogen), while fatty acids and sugars do not contain nitrogen in their basic structures.
**Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.**
Amino acids are characterized by the presence of an amino group (which contains nitrogen), while fatty acids and sugars do not contain nitrogen in their basic structures.
