There are several elements in all proteins and all nucleic acids:
Hydrogen,
Carbon,
Oxygen, and
Nitrogen.
All nucleic acids also contain a lot of phosphorus and commonly proteins contain a tiny bit too, but that is not really relevant to the intention of the question.

What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
Are Both DNA and RNA are proteins?
No. Instead, these are considered nucleic acids. Proteins are made up of sequence of amino acids and nucleic acids are made up of phosphate group, nitrogen base, and a pentose.
What are the 4 classes of macromolecules?
Lipids (oils and fats), Carbohydrates [Saccharides (Sugars) and Fibers etc.), Nucleic Acids, and Proteins (You can get from Meat, Eggs, etc.)Carbohydrates (e.g. glucose, sucrose), proteins (e.g. enzymes, transporters, receptors), lipids (e.g. phospholipids, cholesterol), nucleic acids (e.g. DNA, RNA).
The four main categories of large biological molecules?
CARBOHYDRATES, NUCLEIC ACID,LIPIDS, AND PROTEIN
Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in proteins?
phosphorus is present in nucleic acids and not in proteins
What element is found in proteins and nucleic acids but not carbohydrates?
Nitrogen
What element is found in both nucleic acids and proteins?
Nitrogen
How are nucleic acids and proteins related?
Nucleic acids make proteins.
Do proteins encode nucleic acids?
No. Nucleic acids encode proteins.
What element is found in proteins and nucleic acids but not in other organic compounds?
i think amio acids
What are the four macromolecules of life?
The four major macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Which element is found in nucleic acids but not in protein?
The only element that is not found in any of the 20 essential amino acids but is found in nucleic acids is Phosphorus. It is found in the "Sugar-Phosphate backbone" of nucleic acid but is not found in any of the essential amino acids. Many proteins interact with phosphate groups but they do not make up the protein.
What are the 4 main categories of macromolecules in a cell?
Lipids carbohydrates proteins Nucleic Acids
What are the types of organic compounds?
Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
Which of the following contain the genetic code carbohydrates lipids nucleic acids proteins?
nucleic acids
Are enzymes all nucleic acids?
No, nucleic acids are not enzymes. Nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides where as enzymes are proteins, but all proteins are not enzymes.
