Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the three most common elements in all macromolecules
A
Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen
B
Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen
C
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen
D
Carbon, Hydrogen, Phosphorous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The four main classes of organic compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that are essential to the proper functioning of all living things are known as polymers or macromolecules. All of these compounds are built primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen but in different ratios.

Detailed explanation-2: -All macromolecules are organic, so a major element that connects all of them is carbon. Carbohydrates contain solely carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The other macromolecules contain these elements as well, but can also contain elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon. In addition, they may contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur, and additional minor elements.

Detailed explanation-4: -ELEMENTS AND MACROMOLECULES IN ORGANISMS: Most common elements in living things are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. These four elements constitute about 95% of your body weight. All compounds can be classified in two broad categories—organic and inorganic compounds.

Detailed explanation-5: -There are four classes of macromolecules (polysaccharides or carbohydrates, triglycerides or lipids, polypeptides or proteins, and nucleic acids such as DNA & RNA). Carbohydrates and lipids are made of only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (CHO).
