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 contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
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.

The statement that makes amino acids unique from fatty acids and sugars is: **Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.**
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and they contain an amino group (-NH2), which includes nitrogen. In contrast, fatty acids and sugars do not contain nitrogen in their structure.
