It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question, so I had to look for it and here is the answer. When a researcher discovers a small molecule in muscle tissue that is rich in nitrogen, soluble in water, and lacks phosphorus, the <span> molecule also contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, in uneven ratios. The molecule must be an AMINO ACID. Hope this helps. </span>

The right answer is Amino acid.

Amino acids are molecules that enter into the composition of proteins through their assembly by so-called peptide bonds.

Their name comes from the fact that they have an amine function (NH2) and a carboxylic acid function (COOH). They are distinguished by their side chain, R, which may be a simple hydrogen atom (it is glycine), or even more complex.
