Question

2. Use evidence from the diagrams of macromolecules and information provided earlier to revise your explanation about whether sugar molecules provide all the elements needed to make the four types of macromolecules.

Answer 1

Answer:

No - they do not contain nitrogen which is needed to make proteins and nucleic acids (sometimes lipids)

Explanation:

The four types of macromolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Sugars are carbohydrates, and contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and sometimes other elements like nitrogen and phodphorus.  

Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

Nucleic acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous
