______Carbohydrates.______ Lipids. _____DNA. _____Proteins.

Respuesta :

Histrionicus

Answer:

The correct answer is :

1. CHO

2. CHO

3. CHONP

4. CHON

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are composed of the carbon, hydrogen, oxygen in the ration of 1:2:1 which means hydrogen atoms are double than oxygen and carbon atoms. Carbohydrates are also known as sugars or polymer of sugars.

Lipids are composed of long chains of fatty acids made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules that are insoluble however ade up of organic molecules.

DNA or deoxyribose nucleic acid is the basic unit of cell and known as genetic material. It is made up of ribose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and phosphate backbone so elements that make these nutrients are Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen with nitrogen and phosphorus.

Proteins are made up of amino acids that have carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen element in them.

The 4 macromolecules are namely Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic acids, and Lipids. The composition of each macromolecule is defined by the elements present.  

The symbols for the element that makes up each macromolecule are listed below:

  • Carbohydrates-H, C, and O(Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen)
  • Lipids-H, C, and O(Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen)
  • DNA-O, H, N, C, and P(Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Carbon, and Phosphorus)
  • Proteins-O, H, C, and N(Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon, and Nitrogen)  

Thus, the symbols of the element that make up Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic acids, and Lipids are defined.
