Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen represent the primary structural unit of:

• A. Fat
• B. Protein
• C. Carbohydrate
• D. Lipids

Hint:

Remember the acronym CHON for the key elements in proteins: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Nitrogen.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids, which contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen as their fundamental elements. These elements form the backbone of amino acid structures, which then link together to form protein chains. The unique inclusion of nitrogen distinguishes proteins from carbohydrates and fats.
