Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Proteins are primarily made out of sulfur, plus which four elements? Choose all that apply.
A
Carbon
B
Hydrogen
C
Oxygen
D
Nitrogen
E
Phosphorus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Proteins are found in all living organisms and are composed of molecules called amino acids. Each amino acid contains four elements they are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon and in certain cases may also contain sulfur.

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 organic molecules composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen. Proteins are crated by linking together amino acids into protein links called polypeptide chains.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Nitrogen is in all amino acids and nucleotides, and therefore in all proteins and nucleic acids. Nitrogen is also a major component of the chitin that makes up the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of aquatic insects and crustaceans.
