I see your in Bio126-001...perhaps at Camosun? LOL, don't worry this isn't Bill. I had trouble with this one as well...the FALSE statement is D)They are nonpolar. ~D

What polymer contain nitrogen?
Nitrocellulose is an example. Strictly speaking DNA is also a polymer with nitrogen (amino acids). thomasfich
What compounds does chlamydomonas make from nitrogen?
Basic macro molecules of life contain Nitrogen. It is in carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
Do fatty acids have nitrogen?
No. Fatty acids are made of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen.
Nitrogen is used by living organisms to produce?
Nitrogen is consumed by different organisms in different ways. Legumes (a type of plant) are able to take nitrogen straight out of the atmosphere (which is roughly 78% nitrogen gas). Animals aren't able to do this so they must obtain their nitrogen by eating substances such as vegetables and meat. We break down proteins (largely from meat) down to their constituents which are amino acids. This is how we obtain our source of nitrogen (amino acids contain nitrogen atoms). We then use these amino acids to build proteins that we need in our body such as tissue, enzymes, antibodies and more.
Do polysaccharides contain nitrogen?
Nope. Carbohydrates have the formula C6H12O6. They are just sugars and make things like glucose, fructose, starch and things like that. Proteins contain nitrogen though. Protiens are made up of amino acids, and all amino acids have at least one nitrogen. A few have more.
What are the components of nucleic acids?
The components of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which contain a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
What are the organic macromolecules that contain nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids are organic macromolecules that contain nitrogen.
Is nitrogen an essential component of proteins?
All proteins are compounds comprised of amino acids. Amino acids contain amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) groups. Nitrogen is an essential component of the amine group in all proteins.
How are amino acids different from fatty acids?
Short Answer is: fatty acids lack Nitrogen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They have the functional groups carboxyl (COOH) and amine (H2N). Fatty acids or LIPIDS - [fats from animals, oils from plants] - are the building blocks of triglycerides. They are made of of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and DO NOT contain nitrogen. They have the functional groups carbonyl (HCO) and carboxyl (COOH).
Which macromolecules contain nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids
Do lipids have a nitrogen base?
No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Which two macromolecules contain nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids
Is nitrogen a component of proteins?
They are made from carbohydrates, so they contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but they also contain nitrogen. Edited: Proteins are most certainly NOT made from carbohydrates (sugars). They are made from amino acids.
Does proein contain nitrogen atoms?
Proteins are made from amino acids. All amino acids invariably have nitrogen. Thus each protein molecule contains atoms of nitrogen in it.
What macromolecule have nitrogen?
Proteins and nucleic acids contain nitrogen.Proteins use nitrogen as part of amino group, which is NH2.Nucleic acids use nitrogen for nitrogen bases such as adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine.
What 4 types of organic molecules contain nitrogen?
Nucleus acids
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
