A)Phosphorous and E)Nitrogen are NOT found in ALL biomolecules

  • Biomolecules are organic compounds exclusive of cells. These organic compounds include nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids.

  • Biomolecules are always composed of three basic elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).

  • Nitrogen (N) is an element found in amino acids, the building blocks of proteins and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA). However, this element (N) is not found in carbohydrates and lipids.  

  • Phosphorus (P) is found in nucleic acids and phospholipids that form cellular membranes, as well as in high-energy biomolecules, such as ATP.

In conclusion, phosphorous and nitrogen are not found in all biomolecules, whereas all biomolecules contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
