Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
Carbon. Organic molecules are usually made up of carbon chains or rings, with hydrogen atoms bonded to most bond sites. The molecules are distinguished by the length of the chain, the number of double or triple carbon-carbon bonds, and the other elements or ligands that might be bonded to the carbon chain or ring.
How many carbons are in cholesterol Of these how many are not contained in the rings?
There are 27 carbon atoms in a molecule of cholesterol. 10 are not contained in the rings.
Is phosphate organic or inorganic?
No, ATP is an organic compound. The full name is adenosine triphosphate, and the adenosine part is made of two carbon rings interlocked with each other. The three phosphate groups are inorganic, and when one is removed from the ATP molecule, the resulting phosphate group is typically notated as Pi, for inorganic phosphate.
Name for small bases containing one carbon nitrogen ring?
These rings are known as pyrimidines.
Does Polystyrene contain benzene rings?
Yes (and no!) The styrene molecule is a benzene ring with a -CH=CH2 group attached. In the polymerisation process, the double bonds in two adjacent groups are broken and joined to form a chain: -CH-CH2-CH-CH2-CH-CH2-CH-CH2-....... with a benzene ring off each -CH- group. I believe the benzene group is referred to as a "phenyl group" in complex molecules, such as polymers like polystyrene.
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.
What are the four characteristics of all organic molecules?
Organic molecules all contain carbon, often in chains or rings. They also contain hydrogen. I can't think of any other properties common to all organic molecules. Organic substances tend to be volatile, many are combustible, and many have odours.

What are organic molecules and what do they contain?
it's a molecule of a kind normally found in living system.Organic molecules are usually composed of carbon atoms in rings or long chains, to which are attached other atoms of such elements as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
Which of these statements is true of organic molecules?
They can be chains, rings, or branched structures.
What is the basis of an organic molecule?
The basis of an organic molecule is carbon. Organic molecules contain carbon atoms bonded to other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. The presence of carbon allows organic molecules to form complex structures and exhibit a wide range of functions in living organisms.
Why are carbon atoms the most versatile building blocks of the molecules used by living organisms?
They can bond with up to 4 other elements, including itself, allowing it to form chains, branches, and rings. It can also share multiple electrons with an element (single, double, or triple bonds)
Which is true about carbon skeletons a always linear never branched b length is always the same conly contain double bonds d may be arranged in rings?
d) Carbon skeletons may be arranged in rings. Carbon atoms can form chains, branches, or rings in organic molecules. This diversity in structure allows for a wide range of organic compounds with different properties and functions.
Molecules based on carbon rings can have isomers?
Yes, molecules based on carbon rings can have isomers due to the different possible arrangements of atoms within the ring structure. Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structural formulas, leading to distinct chemical and physical properties. Examples of isomers for carbon ring molecules include cis-trans isomers in cyclic alkenes and structural isomers in aromatic compounds like benzene derivatives.
What are characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons?
Principal characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons are:- the contain benzenic rings- frequently they have an agreeable odor- they burn with soot; this is a disadvantage- the ratio carbon/hydrogen is great
Is carbohydrate aromatic or aliphatic?
All the carbohydrates are aliphatic compounds.
Which element forms the backbone of all organic molecules?
