The components of each macromolecule are as follows:
Carbohydrate:
- Carbon
- Hydrogen
- Oxygen
Protein:
- Carbon
- Hydrogen
- Oxygen
- Nitrogen
Lipid:
- Carbon
- Hydrogen
- Oxygen (usually with a lower proportion compared to carbohydrates and proteins)
Nucleic Acid:
- Carbon
- Hydrogen
- Oxygen
- Nitrogen
- Phosphorous
To determine which components are present in each macromolecule, you can look at the chemical formula of each macromolecule. The chemical formula provides information about the atoms that make up the molecule. For example, the chemical formula of a carbohydrate may be written as (CH2O)n, indicating the presence of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O). Similarly, the chemical formula for a protein typically contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, while the chemical formula for a nucleic acid includes carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous.
By examining the chemical formulas and understanding the elemental composition of each macromolecule, you can identify the components it is made of.
