____ are composed out of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) (CHONP)
A
Carbohydrates
B
Lipids
C
Proteins
D
Nucleic Acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON). Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P). Name the 4 main elements that make up 95% of an organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. These atoms are arranged together in an specific order to form carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nucleic Acids are biomolecules containing hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and phosphorous. Nucleic acids are polymers made from individual monomers called nucleotides.

Detailed explanation-4: -CHNOPS stands for Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur. These six elements make up 98% of living matter on Earth! How does that help you?

Detailed explanation-5: -Proteins. Proteins are organic compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and, in some cases, sulfur. Proteins are made of smaller units called amino acids. There are 20 different common amino acids needed to make proteins.
