A biomolecule is any molecule that is produced by a living organism, including large macromolecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as small molecules such as primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, and natural products. A more general name for this class of molecules is biogenic substances.
What else can I help you with?
What are bio-molecules?
A bio-molecule is a chemical molecule that naturally occurs in living organisms. Bio-molecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen, along with nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Other elements sometimes are incorporated but are much less common.
How many number of bio elements are there?
There are six bio elements that are essential for all living organisms: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur. These elements are the building blocks for biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates.
Are bio-molecules organic or inorganic?
Bio-molecules are organic compounds because they are primarily composed of carbon atoms bonded with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur and phosphorus. In contrast, inorganic compounds do not contain carbon-hydrogen bonds.
What are three characteristics of bio-molecules?
Bio molecules are large, complex moleucles build from smaller, simpler, repeating units. Most bio molecules contain carbon atoms that are bonded together in chains and rings.
Is a element a molecules?
Molecules are not elements. Elements make up molecules, though.
How many atoms are involved in forming bio-molecules what are this atoms?
Each bio-molecule has a specific chemical formula and a different number of atoms; generally bio-molecules contain C, H, O, N.
How can one type of atom be the basic of so many types of bio molecules?
There are 2 types of atoms and these make up the different bio molecules when combined
What group of bio molecules do hormones belong to?
proteins
What group of bio-molecules do hormones belong to?
proteins
Are bio molecules organic or inorganic?
It is organic substance
How are elements and molecules related?
Elements chemically combine to make molecules.
Are molecules and elements the same thing?
No, molecules and elements are not the same thing. An element is a pure substance made of only one type of atom, while a molecule is a group of atoms bonded together. Elements can exist as single atoms or as molecules depending on their chemical composition.
