- Which of the following BEST explains the molecular nature of all organic compounds? Organic compounds such as water, monosaccharides, amino acids, and nucleotides compose the basic A monomers needed to sustain the normal metabolic machinery in cells. Generally speaking, organic compounds are the outcome of chemically bonding hydrogen and carbon atoms, (B) В and possibly others such as oxygen and nitrogen. Only members of Domain Eukarya (eukaryotic organisms) may reveal organic compounds in their cellular and molecular structures. Obviously, organic compounds only exists in the living world whereas, inorganic compounds can only be found in D non-living thingsarrow_forwardCreate a concept map.

Part: 2/3 Part 3 of 3 Draw a constitutional isomer for this structure. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forwardThe carbohydrates (CHOs), with a general formula of (CH₂O)n, are rich in hydroxyl groups. This allows the carbohydrates incredibly diversity of structure and function. Match the structural feature with the functional feature allowed. CHOs are useful for fast energy production. CHOs are widely used to mediate molecular recognition events. CHOS are widely used as structural materials. 1. 2. 3. Hydroxyl groups can interact extremely well with water. Hydroxyl groups can be extensively derivatized and functionalized. Hydroxyl groups allow CHOs to form extensive H-bonded networks.arrow_forwardCould you write me a paragraph on the importance of bonds and bonding in organisms.
