Order from least to most amount of energy:
tristearin (triglyceride), glycine (amino acid), cellulose (polysaccharide), glucose (monosaccharide).

I think it's:
amino acid, tryglyceride, polysaccharide, monosaccharide

Is this right? Thanks!

from the least:
glucose-since it is the most basic unit of carbohydrate.

Amino acid, glycine
Polysaccharide.

From least to greatest:

Glycine, glucose, triglyceride, cellulose (assuming the organism can use it; humans can't).

Amino acids provide very little energy in comparison to any carbohydrate, and fats (triglycerides) provide a lot of energy.  Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides and thus provide a lot of energy.
