Answer:

protein and lipids

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins, like carbohydrates and lipids, are compounds of carbon hydrogen and oxygen. However, unlike carbohydrates and lipids, proteins also contain the element nitrogen and are hence referred to as nitrogenous compounds. In addition to nitrogen, proteins may contain phosphorus or sulphur or both. Some proteins such as haemoglobin contain other elements such as iron.
