Ecological Cycles. Nitrogen, Carbon-Oxygen, Phosphorus, Sulfur. The Nitrogen cycle The Nitrogen Cycle Nitrogen is used by living organisms to produce a number of complex organic molecules like amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. 78% of the worldâs atmosphere is nitrogen Despite its abundance in the atmosphere, nitrogen is often the most limiting nutrient for plant growth.
When small organic molecules bind together, they form larger molecules called biological macromolecules. Biological macromolecules fall into four categories: carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.Your body uses carbohydrates, lipids and proteins for energy. The only biological macromolecule not used for energy is nucleic acid. Nucleic acids hold and transcribe your genetic code.mall organic molecules called amino acids bind together to form the biological macromolecule protein. Protein is the building block of hair, blood cells, muscles and enzymes. If you consume more protein than your body needs, it converts into fat.
