Answer 1

Answer:

the main answer is carbon although its really carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

to remember each macromolecule, you can use this reference...

Carbohydrates = CHO (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen)

Lipids = CHO (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen)

Proteins = CHON (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen)

Nucleic Acids = CHONP (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus)

hope this helped :)
