Answer:

Nitrogen in the reduced form is the major component of the three most important biological macromolecular structures: (i) proteins/polypeptides, (ii) DNA and RNA, and (iii) polymers of amino sugars.

There are four major classes of biological macromolecules - carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Each are made up of different elements. Nitrogen is found in two of these macromolecules - proteins and nucleic acids.

Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element that is essential for growth and reproduction in both plants and animals. It is found in amino acids that make up proteins, in nucleic acids, that comprise the hereditary material and life's blueprint for all cells, and in many other organic and inorganic compounds.
