- That is impossible to determine, given a lack of definition for life and our ignorance of life forms alien to this planet. the only certain thing is that we're all full of space. We're made up of more space than water or carbon.
- The biological definition of "life" (metabolism, reproduction, growing, movement, excitability) does not require that the creature contains carbon, however all creatures that are life according to it do.

What kinds of molecules are found in all living things?
molecules containing long chains of carbon atoms are found on living things.
Organisms are composed of what types of chemical compound?
a variety of different kinds of molecules.Living organisms are made up of a variety of many different kinds of molecules. Some molecules, such as water and salt, are small. Other molecules, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and DNA are large.
What is the basis of most molecules that make up living things?
The element that is the basis for most living things is Carbon. Carbon is an element found in all life on Earth.
All living things contain which element?
all living things are made up of cells.
What is the difference between organic molecule and inorganic molecule?
Inorganic molecules are substances that don't have carbon-hydrogen (C)-(H) bonds; generally simple and are not normally found in living things. Things like mineral, metals and salts would be considered inorganic molecules Organic molecules, substances that contain carbon-hydrogen bonds, are found in living things. The major classes of organic molecule include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. Exception, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, and diamond are consider inorganic molecules.
All living things contain what?
