The statement "All biomolecules have the following traits except" implies that one of the options listed does not apply to all biomolecules. The options listed are:

  1. Nitrogen elements.
  2. A carbon backbone.
  3. Hydrogen elements.
  4. Covalent bonds.

Among these, not all biomolecules contain nitrogen. For example, carbohydrates and lipids do not necessarily contain nitrogen, while proteins and nucleic acids do. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Nitrogen elements.
