Introduction: The biomolecules are the type of organic molecules that are present in living organisms. The essential elements that are involved in the making of biomolecules are carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The oxygen contributes to 65% of essential elements followed by carbon (18%), hydrogen (10%), and nitrogen (3%).
To determine: The example of each type of biomolecule with respect to their application to physiology.
