What makes amino acids unique from fatty acids and sugars? Genetic material is made of nucleotides, which contain amino acids; fatty acids and sugars are not part of genetic material.

Amino acids are building blocks to larger molecules; fatty acids and sugars are not.

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 contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.

Explanation:

Genetic material is made of nucleotides, which contain amino acids; fatty acids and sugars are not part of genetic material.  - this is false. Genetic material is made of nucleotides, but they are made of a sugar, phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Genetic material is transcribed then translated into a string of amino acids called a polypeptide chain.

Amino acids are building blocks to larger molecules; fatty acids and sugars are not.  - false, amino acids are building blocks to larger molecules called proteins However, sugars are also building blocks for polysaccharides like starch, and fatty acids can combine to form triglycerides

Amino acids contain nitrogen; fatty acids and sugars do not.  - this is true. Fatty acids and sugars are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. They also sometimes contain other molecules in their R groups e.g. Sulphur.

Amino acids make up proteins, which provide energy for the body; fatty acids and sugars do not provide energy.  - this is false, fatty acids and sugars can also provide energy
