Here's an identification of the elements present in each of the macromolecules mentioned:

| Macromolecule | Carbon | Hydrogen | Oxygen | Nitrogen | Phosphorus | |------------------|--------|----------|--------|----------|------------| | Carbohydrate | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | | Protein | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | | Lipid | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | | Nucleic Acid | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Summary:

  • Carbohydrates mainly consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
  • Proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
  • Lipids are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
  • Nucleic Acids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus.
