Responses
Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
Amino acids are building blocks to larger molecules; fatty acids and sugars are not.
Amino acids are building blocks to larger molecules; fatty acids and sugars are not.
Genetic material is made of nucleotides, which contain amino acids; fatty acids and sugars are not part of genetic material.
Genetic material is made of nucleotides, which contain amino acids; fatty acids and sugars are not part of genetic material.

The correct response is: Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and contain nitrogen. This is a unique characteristic not found in fatty acids and sugars, which are primarily involved in energy storage and metabolism but do not contain nitrogen.
