I think you can be best referred to: PROTEINS
1. Energy (from Sun) 2. Water 3. Complex Organic Molecules (From Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorous) such as Amino acids
Although it is recognized that the original source of carbon and hydrogen was in the materials that made up the primordial Earth, it is generally accepted that these two elements have had to pass through an organic phase to be combined into the varied complex molecules recognized as crude oil.
Even though the question is a little vague the answer is no. The specifics of carbon atoms allow them to form an almost endless variety of molecules among themselves or with the addition of other atoms (commonly hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen etc.). That doesn't mean that there are no complex inorganic molecules (eg perovskites) but in general organic chemistry is more versatile and therefore rich and complex
There are a number of metals that react with water, such as sodium, lithium, etc., but there is no element that decomposes in water. Decomposition is a characteristic of more complex molecules, not of elements.
No. Nitrogen dioxide is a compound of nitrogen an oxygen, meaning that the two elements are chemical bonded together to form a different chemical with its own unique set of properties. In a mixture the nitrogen and oxygen would not be bonded to each other and would retain their individual properties.
Nucleic Acids
Carbon combined with other elements as complex molecules make up most of earth's matter. The most common elements carbon combines with are hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
A nucleic acid is a complex organic substance which is present in all living cells, such as DNA or RNA. The elements found in nucleic acids are: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and phosphorus.
They do. The nonliving elements Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon are the building blocks of the DNA bases A, C, G and T (U). None of these elements are alive, yet they organise themselves into complex molecules that are the genetic instructions for all organic (living) life.
DNA isn't an element; it's a fairly complex compound. The primary elements contained in the DNA molecule are the four CHON elements; Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen.
Short answer: There are five elements that makeup DNA. Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Nitrogen (N), Oxygen (O), and Phosphorous (P). DNA is made of chemical building blocks called nucleotides. These building blocks are made of three parts: a phosphate group, a sugar group and one of four types of nitrogen bases. The phosphate group has hydrogen, oxygen, and of course phosphate. The sugar group has hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon. And the four types of nitrogen bases are: Thymine C5H6N2O2 Guanine C5H5N5O Adenine C5H5N5 Cytosine C4H5N3O
Carbon forms the backbone of Biology for all life on Earth. Complex molecules are made up of carbon bonded with other elements, especially oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, and carbon is able to bond with all of these because of its four valence electrons.

nucleic acid is not a single element nucleic acid is a complex molecule contain elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur etc
There are many different elements that form a part of the chemistry of the body, but there are four which predominate, which are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (sometimes known collectively as CHON). All of these elements are readily available in the environment. Water is composed of oxygen and hydrogen, the air is 70% nitrogen, and carbon is obtained from carbon dioxide which is also in the air. Various plants and bacteria can use these simple compounds and elements to build more complex organic compounds, and these complex compounds work their way up the food chain to us.
Carbon forms the backbone of biology for all life on Earth. Complex molecules are made up of carbon bonded with other elements, especially oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen, and carbon is able to bond with all of these because of its four valence electrons. It is often assumed in astrobiology that if life exists somewhere else in the universe, it will also be carbon based. This assumption is referred to by critics as carbon chauvinism.
Hemoglobin is made up of heme and globular protein. The heme contains iron inside a ring of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen molecules. The protein chains are complex helical structures.
