On the AAMC CP section description PDF it lists:

Which exact compounds/functional groups should we know?

So far I have:

Is what I have sufficient/insufficient/overkill?

Missing the most important one of them all - pyranose. Don't forget cholesterol and the vitamin cofactors.
This is a bit overkill. What this means is that you need to know what DNA bases, amino acids, and sugars look like.

Pyran and cholesterol aren't aromatic though?

Don’t forget benzene which is found in phenylalanine and tyrosine 😛 it isn’t a heterocycle but it completes the aromatic list

Otherwise i think it looks fine
