The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Proteins**: - Proteins are large biomolecules that play critical roles in the body. They are made up of smaller units called amino acids. 2. **Composition of Amino Acids**: - Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, contain the following elements: - Carbon (C) - Hydrogen (H) - Oxygen (O) - Nitrogen (N) - Some amino acids also contain Sulfur (S). 3. **Elements in Proteins**: - Therefore, proteins themselves are composed of these elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. - The mention of chlorine in the question seems to be a misunderstanding, as chlorine is not a standard component of proteins. 4. **Types of Proteins**: - Proteins can be classified into various types based on their structure and function, such as enzymes, hormones, structural proteins, etc. - Regardless of their type, all proteins are fundamentally made from amino acids that contain the aforementioned elements. 5. **Conclusion**: - In summary, proteins contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and occasionally sulfur, but not chlorine.
