A molecule has been isolated from a cell. The molecule's structure has a three dimensional shape and is made of folded chains of amino acids. The function of this molecule is enzymatic catalysis of glycolysis. An analysis of this molecule would show that it contains which of these elements that would NOT be found in carbohydrates? A) carbon B) nitrogen C) oxygen D) phosphorus E) sulfur

An analysis of this molecule (protein) would show that it contains this chemical element that would not be found in carbohydrates: B) nitrogen.

A molecule with a three (3) dimensional shape and comprises folded chains of amino acids describes a protein.

Also, one of the function of protein is the enzymatic catalysis of glycolysis.

Generally, protein is a macromolecule which is formed as a result of the union of many folded chains of amino acids.

The molecular structure of protein is made up of the following:

In conclusion, an analysis of protein would show that it contains nitrogen which would not be found in carbohydrates.

B) nitrogen

Explanation:

According to this question, a molecule which has been isolated from a cell has a three dimensional shape made of folded chains of amino acids. The molecule functions in the enzymatic catalysis of glycolysis. Based on the description of this molecule, it can be determined that it is a PROTEIN.

This is because PROTEINS are the biomolecules that are composed of amino acids monomers. The three dimensional shape of the molecule represents the protein at the TERTIARY LEVEL. However, in the structure of the amino acids, which forms the protein molecule, a central carbon is attached to a carboxyl group (-COOH), an anime group (-NH2) and a R side chain.

The protein molecule, therefore, contains NITROGEN element, which cannot be found in carbohydrates (made up of only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen).
