There are four major biomolecules present in plants - - carbohydrate , lipid, protein and nucleic acid.
Carbohydrates are the poly hydroxy aldehyde or ketone compound. The monomer of carbohydrate is sugar which made up of - - carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Lipid comprises of fatty acid and their derivatives. A fatty acid consists of a straight chain of a number of carbon atom with hydrogen atom along the length of the chain and a carboxyl gruop (-COOH) at one end.
Proteins are made of 20 different amino acids arranged in a form of polypeptide chains. An amino acid comprises of - - a central carbon atom, a hydrogen atom, an amino gruop (-NH2), a carboxyl gruop (-COOH) and a side chain (R group) consisting of varying atoms.
Nucleic acid refer to the genetic material and are of two types - DNA and RNA. The monomeric unit of nucleic acid is nucleotide which composed of a nitrogen base, pentose sugar and phosphate.
So, from the above question the lists of elements that are present in all biomolecules in plants are - - oxygen, hydrogen and carbon..
