Answered by GPT 3.5
The correct answer is: Cholesterol. Cholesterol is a type of lipid that is an important component of cell membranes. It helps maintain the fluidity and stability of the cell membrane. Additionally, cholesterol is also used by the body to synthesize hormones, such as estrogen and testosterone. Hydrocarbon, starch, and glucose are not directly involved in the structure of cell membranes or hormone synthesis.

The correct answer is: Nitrogen elements.
While all biomolecules do contain hydrogen elements, a carbon backbone, and covalent bonds, not all biomolecules contain nitrogen elements. Nitrogen is commonly found in biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids, but it is not present in other biomolecules like carbohydrates and lipids.

The correct answer is: Amylase. Amylase is the enzyme that breaks down starch in your saliva. It is produced by the salivary glands and begins the process of breaking down complex carbohydrates into smaller sugar molecules. Trypsin, lipase, and pepsin are enzymes involved in the digestion of proteins and fats, respectively, but they do not break down starch.

The correct answer is: Nitrogen. Plants use nitrogen from the soil to create amino acids from glucose. Nitrogen is a vital nutrient for plants and is a fundamental component of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Carbon, hydrogen, and fluoride are also important elements, but they are not directly involved in the process of creating amino acids from glucose.

The correct answer is: Amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. Starch, sugars, and fatty acids are not the building blocks of proteins. Starch and sugars are carbohydrates, while fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids.
