Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous make up which biomolecule?
A
Protein
B
Carbohydrates
C
Lipids
D
Nucleic acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each cell is made up of organic as well as inorganic compounds. The elemental analysis of the cell constituents shows that a cell comprises carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, and Nucleic acids are known as Biomolecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nucleic acids contain the same elements as proteins: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen; plus phosphorous (C, H, O, N, and P). Nucleic acids are very large macromolecules composed of repetitive units of the same building blocks, nucleotides, similar to a pearl necklace made of many pearls.

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: -Biology and its subfields of biochemistry and molecular biology study biomolecules and their reactions. Most biomolecules are organic compounds, and just four elements-oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen-make up 96% of the human body’s mass.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: A biomolecule that is made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen is a protein molecule. The building blocks of proteins are subunits called amino acids.
