What is the constituent element of protein?

Answer 1

Protein is composed of amino acids, which are in turn made up of mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. A few amino acids also contain sulfur: both Cysteine and Methionine. Thus, proteins containing these amino acids would be made up of very small amounts of sulfur, in addition to the more common elements listed above.

In short-- The five chemical elements of protein are carbon, sulfur, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, with carbon being the most abundant.

Answer 2

The term means an element, such as carbon or oxygen, is found in a compound or in an environment.

Answer 3

Proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids. There are 20 different amino acids that can combine in various sequences to form different proteins with specific functions in the body.
