Some of these can easily be eliminated by knowing that both nitrogen 14 and nitrogen 15 are isotopes ( same element, with the same amount of protons, but with different numbers of neutrons) of nitrogen.

Based on the description of the two biomolecules provided, they are similar in their primary functions for an organism in the sense that THEY BOTH STORE MATERIALS (glucose and iron) NEEDED BY AN ORGANISM.
