E [tex]$\square$[/tex]



Answer :

Sure, let's fill in the missing information in the table.

### Information:

- Proteins: Proteins are composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Therefore, [tex]\( A \)[/tex] should be ['carbon', 'hydrogen', 'oxygen', 'nitrogen'].
- Nucleic Acids: Nucleic acids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Therefore, [tex]\( B \)[/tex] should be ['carbon', 'hydrogen', 'oxygen', 'nitrogen', 'phosphorus'].
- Carbohydrates: Carbohydrate monomers or simplest units are monosaccharides. Therefore, [tex]\( C \)[/tex] should be 'monosaccharides'.

Now, let's organize everything and fill in [tex]\(D\)[/tex] and [tex]\(E\)[/tex].

- [tex]\(D\)[/tex] for Proteins: The building blocks for proteins are amino acids.
- [tex]\(E\)[/tex] for Nucleic Acids: The building blocks for nucleic acids are nucleotides.

### Complete Table:

```plaintext
A B
C monosaccharides
----------------------
| Carbo- | Proteins | Nucleic |
| hydrates | | Acids |
------------------------------
|Elements in | | |
| Molecules | | |
------------------------------
| carbon | | |
| hydrogen | ['carbon', 'hydrogen', 'oxygen', 'nitrogen'] | ['carbon', 'hydrogen', 'oxygen', 'nitrogen', 'phosphorus'] |
| oxygen | | |
-----------------------------------------
| Building Block | | |
| | monosaccharides | amino acids | nucleotides |
---------------------------------------
```

Therefore:
- [tex]\( A = ['carbon', 'hydrogen', 'oxygen', 'nitrogen'] \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( B = ['carbon', 'hydrogen', 'oxygen', 'nitrogen', 'phosphorus'] \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( C = 'monosaccharides' \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( D = 'amino acids' \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( E = 'nucleotides' \)[/tex]
