NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Nucleic acids such as DNA and RNA contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus (CHON P).

Detailed explanation-2: -Most biomolecules consist of six basic ingredients (or chemical elements) : Carbon(C), Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen(N) Oxygen(O), Phosphorus (P) Sulfur(S) (sometimes referred to as “CH-NOPS” ). Carbon is the most important of these elements because carbon atoms provide the core structure of the biomolecule.

Detailed explanation-3: -The new catalog includes all of the so-called “CHNOPS elements” – carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, and sulfur – known to be the building blocks of all life on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The CHNOPS elements come together and interact to form biomolecules. Biomolecules are any molecules present in a living organism. They make up all lifeforms on Earth. Other elements can be found in biomolecules, but these six are by far the most common.
