Question

What are the characteristics of biomolecules?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Biomolecules are molecules that are involved in the maintenance and metabolic processes of living organisms. These non-living molecules are the actual foot-soldiers of the battle of sustenance of life. They range from small molecules such as primary and secondary metabolites and hormones to large macromolecules like proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids etc. It also includes small molecules like primary and secondary metabolites and natural products. Biomolecules consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen with nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, and phosphorus. Biomolecules are very large molecules of many atoms, that are covalently bound together.

Characteristics of Biomolecules

1) Most of them are organic compounds.

2) They have specific shapes and dimensions.

3) The functional group determines their chemical properties.

4) Many of them are asymmetric.

5) Macromolecules are large molecules and are constructed from small building block molecules.

6) Building block molecules have a simple structure.

7) Biomolecules first gorse by chemical evolution.

Thanks for the question.

Hope it helps you.
