Proteins are the only macronutrients that contain <u>nitrogen</u>, but carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins all contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

  • Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element that is necessary for both plant and animal growth and reproduction.
  • It is present in many different chemical and inorganic compounds, including the amino acids that make up proteins, the nucleic acids that make up the genetic material and the blueprint for all organisms' viability.
  • High-protein, high-purine foods like beef, shellfish, and organ meat are among the foods that contain a lot of nitrogen.
  • For life to be nourished, renewed, and sustained, proteins are essential. Proteins contain the atoms carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, much like carbohydrates and lipids do.

How does treatment for a bacterial infection differ from treatment for a virus?
kari74 [83]
The answer is: you can treat bacterial infections, not viruses with antibiotics.
