Which organic molecule contains nitrogen and sulfur?
A
carbohydrates
B
lipids
C
proteins
D
nucleic acids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In addition to carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, all proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur atoms, and many also contain phosphorus atoms and traces of other elements. Proteins serve a variety of roles in living organisms and are often classified by these biological roles.

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: -Organic molecules are molecules that are made of carbon and hydrogen, and can include other elements. Organic molecules must contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms (C-H bonds). They usually involve oxygen and can also contain nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous, and others.
