Summary Introduction

To explain:

The roles of nucleotides in living organisms.

Introduction:

Biological molecules can be defined as the molecules which are synthesized by living organisms. Almost all the biological molecules are comprised of carbon atoms. As a consequence of the chemical properties of biological molecules, they interact in complex methods. The interaction of biological molecules alters structural and chemical properties. All the biological molecules can be classified into four categories, namely- lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates.
