Organic compounds that are in your bodys?

Our bodies have a lot of organic and inorganic molecules. Organic means that the compounds have carbon as their backbone. There are four organic molecules that are important for carrying out life processes. These are macromolecules (huge organic compounds created from simpler building blocks) carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and fatty acids. Our carbs are our energy source for our body. Proteins control and take part in almost every reaction and metabolic function in our body. Nucleic acid represent our DNA and also includes ATP,cAMP and NADH. DNA is sometimes called the foundation of life, the code to work the cells. Next are fatty acids or lipids. They are used for energy storage, make u[ the cell membrane and are also used as hormones. This is a quick overview of 4 main orgainc compounds of the body I hope this helped you out.


What substances are too large for carrier proteins?

Large molecules such as proteins and polysaccharides are usually too large to be transported by carrier proteins. These molecules are often transported through other mechanisms like endocytosis or exocytosis.


What is the name of the insect that looks like a huge mosquito?

What is the huge transparent bag in a plant cell?

The huge transparent bag in a plant cell is called the central vacuole. It stores water, nutrients, and waste products, and helps maintain turgor pressure, which is important for maintaining the cell's shape and structure.


What is the role of carbon in all organisms?

It is due to a number of reasons. Carbon being small in size and having tetravalency makes more no. of bonds than any other element. The branch of organic chemistry is made only due to large no. of compounds having carbon-hydrogen bond. All the biomolecules are organic compounds and any organic compound contains carbon.From an enzyme released your brain to any pancreatic juice, all contain carbon bonds. For example, take proteins. They are made up of amino acids which are further made up from carbon and nitrogen. If you look at glucose, sucrose, vitamins etc., all these are carbon containing molecules. So, it is right to say that carbon is the centre of chemistry of living organisms.

What element is responsible for the huge diversity of molecules of organic compounds?

Carbon is the element responsible for the huge diversity of molecules of organic compounds. Its ability to form four covalent bonds with other elements, including itself, allows for the formation of complex and varied structures in organic molecules.


Are all molecules the same size?

No, molecules come in various sizes. The size of a molecule is determined by the number and arrangement of its atoms. Small molecules like oxygen and water are much simpler and smaller than complex molecules like proteins and DNA.

Why the discovery of sugar in space is a clue that life could exist around star?

The assumption is that life requires complex organic (i.e., carbon-based) molecules. Sugar, or other organic molecules, would be a first step. However, sugar is a fairly simple molecule; from sugar to life is still a huge step.


What are the four main types of organic molecules found in plant cells?

The four main types of organic molecules found in plant cells are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. These molecules play essential roles in processes such as energy storage, structure, signaling, and genetic information storage.


What element is responsible for a huge diversity of molecules?

Carbon is the element responsible for the huge diversity of molecules found in living organisms. Carbon's ability to form four covalent bonds with other elements allows for a wide variety of complex and stable molecular structures to exist. This versatility makes carbon the backbone of organic chemistry.


Why is organic chemistry importnat?

A huge number of products around us are organic substances; also organic chemistry is the chemistry of life.


How are substrates like keys and enzymes like locks a bad analogy?

Well, it is just a representation, substrates are normally smaller molecules, and enzymes are in huge size hence they used this analogy!
