The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each list of molecules and determine which ones contain nitrogen atoms. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze List I: Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Water** - **Glucose (C6H12O6)**: Contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, but no nitrogen. - **Cholesterol**: A lipid molecule that does not contain nitrogen. - **Triglycerides**: Composed of glycerol and fatty acids, which do not contain nitrogen. - **Water (H2O)**: Composed of hydrogen and oxygen, with no nitrogen. - **Conclusion**: **List I does not contain any molecules with nitrogen.** 2. **Analyze List II: Glucose, Antibodies, Adenine, Phospholipids** - **Glucose**: As established, contains no nitrogen. - **Antibodies**: Proteins made up of amino acids, which contain nitrogen. **Includes nitrogen.** - **Adenine**: A nitrogenous base (purine) that contains nitrogen. **Includes nitrogen.** - **Phospholipids**: Composed of glycerol, fatty acids, and phosphate, but no nitrogen. - **Conclusion**: **List II contains molecules with nitrogen (Antibodies and Adenine).** 3. **Analyze List III: Hemoglobin, Carbon Dioxide, mRNA, Monosaccharides** - **Hemoglobin**: A protein that contains amino acids, hence contains nitrogen. **Includes nitrogen.** - **Carbon Dioxide (CO2)**: Contains carbon and oxygen, but no nitrogen. - **mRNA**: A type of nucleic acid that contains nitrogenous bases. **Includes nitrogen.** - **Monosaccharides**: Simple sugars like glucose, which do not contain nitrogen. - **Conclusion**: **List III contains molecules with nitrogen (Hemoglobin and mRNA).** ### Final Answer: **Lists II and III include one or more molecules that always contain nitrogen atoms.**
