Nitrogen occurs in all organisms, primarily in amino acids (and thus proteins), in the nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and in the energy transfer molecule adenosine triphosphate. The human body contains about 3% by mass of nitrogen, the fourth most abundant element in the body after oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.
Best Answer: No, it's not nitrogen hydroxide, because there's no oxygen. It has one nitrogen atom, and two hydrogen atoms. This is the symbol for an amine group, and is often found attached to carbon atoms. An amino acid has an NH2 group attached. NH2 by itself would have a negative charge, because Nitrogen usually forms 3 bonds.
