describe list of organic and inorganic biological molecules and their biological importance
Answers
Living organisms contain inorganic compounds (mainly water and salts; see Fundamentals of Physics and Chemistry Important to Microbiology) and organic molecules. Organic molecules contain carbon; inorganic compounds do not.
Explanation:
In addition to containing carbon atoms, biomolecules also contain functional groups—groups of atoms within molecules that are categorized by their specific chemical composition and the chemical reactions they perform, regardless of the molecule in which the group is found. Some of the most common functional groups are listed in Figure 7.1.57.1.5. In the formulas, the symbol R stands for “residue” and represents the remainder of the molecule. R might symbolize just a single hydrogen atom or it may represent a group
