D. carbons

(pick one)

Answer 1

B nucleic acids I think

Answer 2

C. thioesters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lipids and nucleic acid are macromolecule or biomolecules. Hence option A and B are incorrect.

Carbon is an element. Hence option D is incorrect.

Thioesters are functional groups. Hence option C is correct.

Thioesters are just like esters except they have a S atom replacing one atom of O. Thioesters are formed by the reaction of a carboxylic acid with a thiol group.
