Biomolecules




From the first lecture, I learned about biomolecules.


Biomolecules can be divided into two; organic and inorganic.

What does it mean by organic?? Inorganic??

Organic molecules contain carbon while inorganic molecules generally do not contain carbon and are not biological in origin.

Example about organic and inorganic.

Organic: Tiger, Plant's leaves
Inorganic: Water, Rock

There are 4 major classes of biomolecules
1. Protein
2.Carbohydrates
3. Lipids
4. Nucleic acids
