The statement given in the question is FALSE.

Protein molecules are made from amino acids. Structurally, an amino acid is made up of a carboxyl group, an amino group and a unique side group. The amino group of amino acid is composed on nitrogen linked to two hydrogen atoms. Generally, the nitrogen component of all proteins is between the range of 15% to 25%. The quantity of oxygen in proteins also falls within the same range. Thus, the percentage of nitrogen in proteins is not up to 50%.

What is the role of carbon storage in organisms?? Plz answer fast in paragraph form if possible
belka [17]
Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.
