Biomolecules

Abstract

Biochemistry is the chemistry of life, which means that studies the molecules that allow life: biomolecules. There are two types of biomolecules, inorganic such as water and carbon dioxide, and organic which are so big that are called macromolecules. There are four macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. All of them have specific structures and functions, so important that without them life would not be possible.
