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.
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides, complex monomers consisting of a pentose (five carbon sugar) covalently bonded to a phosphate group and to one of five different kinds of nitrogenous bases. DNA and RNA are the only two nucleic acids found in living matter.our main types of organic molecules predominate in living organisms: 1  carbohydrates (polymers of simple sugars). 2  Carbohydrate Review. 3  lipids (fatty acids linked by glycerol). 4  Lipid Review. 5  polypeptides (made of amino acids). 6  Protein Review. 7  nucleic acids (DNA or RNA-polymers of nucleotides).
