What type of carbon based molecule are DNA and RNA?
A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
How is the way in which carbon atoms bond to each other important for the number of carbon-based compounds?
Hydrocarbons are molecules consisting of/containing only atoms of carbon and hydrogen. There are many different kinds of hydrocarbons based on different numbers of carbon atoms in the molecules and whether or not any of the carbons are connected by double bonds rather than single bonds.
Organic chemistry is based primarily on what element?
The two elements that is the basis for organic chemistry is carbon and hydrogen
Can there be non carbon based life forms?
Yes, there can be non carbon based life forms; although none yet have been discovered; there is much speculation about the possibility of silicon based life forms due to certain similarities to carbon at the atomic level.
Is wood a carbon fuel?
Yes, I said so.
What may become an important carbon-based fuel?
Biofuels that are derived from recent growth organic matter may become an important carbon-based fuel.
Why is carbon so important in the body?
We are carbon based lifeforms. We're friggen made of it. All of us.
Has carbon improved your life?
Since all living forms on Earth are based on carbon, I suppose carbon can be said to be somewhat important to me.
Why are biofuels important?
Biofuels are important because they are a renewable resource, whereas there are limited reserves of carbon based fuels. Biofuels are also responsible for fewer carbon dioxide emissions.
What is a carbon based molecule?
Carbon Based molecules are ones that have one or more carbon to carbon bonds in them.
In a healthy individual the primary respiratory drive is based on?
Carbon dioxide is the most important stimulus to breathe.
What type of carbon based molecule are DNA and RNA?
A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
Are inorganic molecules carbon based?
No, inorganic molecules are not carbon based.
Why carbon is an important element?
Because it has 4 bonding sites and can either lose 4 electrons or gain 4 electrons which makes it great for compound chains. Everything from this plastic keyboard I'm using to the amino acids in my body have carbon backbones. We're just really lucky it's extremely abundant.
Element on which life is based?
carbon
Are bugs carbon-based?
All life on Earth is carbon based, including bugs.
Are most organisms said to be carbon based?
All organisms on Earth are carbon based.
