Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen are the elements that make up ____ ?
A
Carbohydrate
B
Lipid
C
Protein
D
Nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Protein is mainly formed by carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. Amino acids join to form proteins. Each amino acid is formed with one basic group NH2 and one acidic group(COOH).

Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins are one of the primary constituents of living matter. They consist of long chains of amino acids, which are bonded together by peptide linkages and thus called polypeptides. There are about 20 amino acids, and the atoms most prevalent in these are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

Detailed explanation-3: -Proteins are made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (CHON).

Detailed explanation-4: -They contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen like the carbohydrates and lipids, but they also contain nitrogen and often sulfur and phosphorus. Protein molecules are often very large and are made up of hundreds to thousands of amino acid units.
