Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which organic molecule contains nitrogen and sulfur?
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
proteins
D
nucleic acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nitrogen forms many organic compounds including amines, amino acids, amino alcohols, amides and lactams, nitro compounds, imines, nitriles, diazonium salts, hydrazides, carbazides, oximes, and heterocyclic compounds such as imidazole, triazole, and tetrazole.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organosulfur compounds are organic compounds that contain sulfur. They are often associated with foul odors, but many of the sweetest compounds known are organosulfur derivatives, e.g., saccharin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are large organic molecules made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and, in some cases, sulfur. Protein molecules are made up of smaller molecules called amino acids. Proteins make up much of the structure of cells.
