Question

What are the four molecules of life?

What is the biochemical name given to all sugars??


Please answer these questions T T

Answer 1

Four molecules of life:
(COHN)
carbon
oxygen
hydrogen
nitrogen

Biochemical name given to all sugars:
saccharides (?)
above answer (saccharides) was wrong. The count was right. Should be carbohydrates!!

Answer 2

Sugars are also called hydrocarbons.

The four molecules of life? From an ancient standpoint - fire, air, water, earth. From a modern standpoint - probably Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and... Nitrogen are the most common elements in biology.

Answer 3

-They arnt really the molecules of life as much as they are the elements of energy but like everyone elce said, oxygen-hydrogen-carbon-and nitrogen
carbon is said to be the main life element seeing that every saccaride has carbon.
-The biochemical name for all sugars is carbohydrates
this includes monosaccarides like gluclose, disaccarides like lactose and sucrose, and pollysaccarides commonly known as starch
all sugars contain carbon therefor they are deemed carbohydrates

Answer 4

The four molecules of life are:

CO2 (carbon dioxide)
H2O (water)
O2 (oxygen)
N2 (nitrogen)

With these four molecules, you can create many of the building blocks of life including carbohydrates, amino acids, etc.

The second answer is carbohydrates.

Answer 5

Four molecules of life: C,H,O,N

Biochemical name: Carbohydrates

Answer 6

four molecules of life?
H2O, O2, carbon in general?, and C9H13N - i wonder how many people get that one

sugar is classified as "glucose"

Answer 7

RNA
DNA
C2H5O10
HCl
