Biomolecules
A
nucleic acids $>$ proteins $> H_2O >$ carbohydrates $>$ ions $>$ lipids
1%
B
$H_2O >$ proteins $ >$ nucleic acids $>$ carbohydrates $>$ lipids $>$ ions
86%
C
$H_2O >$ proteins $>$ carbohydrates $>$ nucleic acids $>$ lipids $>$ ions
12%
D
lipids $>$ ions $>$ carbohydrates $> H_2O >$ proteins $>$ nucleic acids
0%
