What are biomolecules and why are they important in living organisms?
Biomolecules are molecules present in organisms that are essential to biological processes, such as cell division, morphogenesis, or development. They are important in providing structure, function, and regulation within living organisms.
What are some examples of biomolecules?
What are some examples of biomolecules?
Examples of biomolecules include proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, vitamins, and hormones.
What is the significance of exogenous biomolecules for living organisms?
What is the significance of exogenous biomolecules for living organisms?
Living organisms usually need exogenous biomolecules, such as certain nutrients, to survive as these biomolecules are not produced within the organism.
