Summary Introduction
To determine:
The role of structure on functions of organic molecules, such as carbohydrates, lipids, and protein.
Introduction:
The biomolecule is composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms. In every biomolecule, other atoms such as Sulphur, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms are also found. All these atoms bind to carbon skeleton of the
