Carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are essential elements found in various natural systems. Carbon is primarily found in organic compounds, atmospheric CO2, and fossil fuels. Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere (as N2) and is also present in organic matter, soil, and water. Phosphorus is mainly found in minerals, rocks, and biological systems, particularly in nucleic acids, ATP, and phospholipids.
What else can I help you with?
What are the 5 elements typically found in macromolecules?
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus
Which elements are macromolecules based on?
Macromolecules are based on carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur or phosphorus. These elements are essential for forming the complex structures found in proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
What Atoms are found in all macromolecules?
Every macromolecule has at least carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur are also found in many macromolecues.
A nucleotide contains what elements?
A nucleotide contains the elements carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorus.
What are the elements of nucleic acids'?
The elements found in nucleic acids are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). These elements are essential for the structure and function of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA.
What are the 5 elements typically found in macromolecules?
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus
What is found in lipids?
I believe its carbon, hydrogen, phosphorus, nitrogen, and oxygen
What elements are nucleic acids found in?
Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus
What common elements are found in animals?
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur = "CHONPS"
What are main Elements that are found in life?
carbon hydrogen oxygen nitrogen and phosphorus
How is phosphorus cycle differs from the carbon and nitrogen cycles?
It's different from other cycles because it can't be found in the gas state, only on land, water and sediment
Why does the phosphorus cycle occur slower than the carbon and nitrogen cycles?
Phosphorus, not found in the atmosphere like carbon and nitrogen, take a longer time to move through solids. Phosphorus cycles through sedimentary rock which takes a lot longer of a process.
What element is found in proteins and nucleic acids?
Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Carbon and Hydrogen.
Why the phosphorus cycle occurs more slowly than both the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle?
Both carbon and nitrogen are found in the air as gases and are readily absorbed by the body. Unlike them, phosphorus is not in the air as a gas but rather moves slowly from deposits on land and sediments, to living organisms, and then back into the soil and water sediment.
Is sulfur present in DNA?
No. DN4 is composed only of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
What is one way that the phosphorus cycle differs from the carbon and nitrogen cycles?
Reservoir of P is in sediments while others 2 are gaseous .
Which elements are macromolecules based on?
Macromolecules are based on carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur or phosphorus. These elements are essential for forming the complex structures found in proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids.
