Small Molecular Weight Organic Compounds in Living Tissues | Biomolecules Notes for NEET

  Small Molecular Weight Organic Compounds in Living Tissues (NEET Biology Notes) Biomolecules in Living Tissues: Complete NEET study chart covering carbohydrates, amino acids, lipids, nucleotides, DNA and RNA. Chapter: Biomolecules -Dr.Sanjaykumar Pawar  Introduction Living organisms are made up of different types of organic molecules . These molecules are called biomolecules because they are essential for life. The four major groups of biomolecules are: Carbohydrates (Sugars) Proteins (Amino acids) Lipids (Fats and Oils) Nucleic Acids (DNA & RNA building blocks) These molecules perform different functions such as providing energy, building body tissues, storing food, and carrying genetic information. 1. Carbohydrates (Sugars) What are carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in living organisms. They are made up of three elements: Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) General formula: (CH₂O)ₙ Examples shown in the figure (A) Glucose Molecular Formula: C₆...
