The correct response is:
Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
Amino acids are unique in that they contain an amino group (–NH₂) that includes nitrogen, whereas fatty acids and sugars do not have this nitrogen component. This is a distinguishing feature that sets amino acids apart from these other biomolecules.
