Vedclass · Answer

(A) Nitrogen is a fundamental element in the structure of amino acids,which are the building blocks of proteins. Every amino acid contains an amino group $(-NH_2)$ and a carboxyl group $(-COOH)$. Since proteins are polymers of amino acids,nitrogen is an essential component of all proteins. Lipids and carbohydrates primarily consist of carbon,hydrogen,and oxygen,and do not contain nitrogen as a structural constituent.

Column-$I$ (Type of Amino Acid)	Column-$II$ (Example)
$(A)$ Polar and uncharged $R$ group	$(i)$ Methionine
$(B)$ Non-polar $R$ group	$(ii)$ Glutamic acid
$(C)$ Polar and negatively charged $R$ group	$(iii)$ Lysine
$(D)$ Polar and positively charged $R$ group	$(iv)$ Cysteine
