All living individuals are encompassed with water and
Among the four major biomolecules, carbohydrates are quite simple. Carbohydrates are divided into two groups: simple and complex sugars. Proteins are complex structure and it is made up of amino acids that form polypeptide chains. The nucleic acid is made up of nucleotides. DNA and RNA are the two types of nucleic acids. Lipids are not
