Students were given a list of seven elements and asked to identify the four elements that are most abundant in biomolecules

Respuesta :

Answer:

Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen

Explanation:

In many biomolecules, we have Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen. These elements are somewhat central to life activities.

If we take carbohydrates for instance, they are composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Carbohydrates are energy molecules which are broken down to supply energy in the body.

Proteins all contain nitrogen because they involve the amino group. Hence, Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen are most abundant in biomolecules.
