Which means a Carbon atom can form chains and rings onto which other atoms can be attached, which leads to a formation of large number of different compounds. For example Fatty acids contain the COOH group which is attached to hydrocarbon chain or ring. Organic compounds always contain carbon along with other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. Monosaccharides are the monomers of carbohydrates Example os carbohydrates are Alcohol, sugar, fat, protein etc..Most of the living organisms are made of Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Carbohydrates use carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The examples of carbohydrates are sugar, starch, cellulose, and glycogen. Carbohydrates are source of energy in the living organisms. Proteins are the combination of Hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen. Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins. The sequence of Amino acid in protein is defined by the sequence of a gene, which is encoded in genetic code. In general, genetic code specifies 20 standard amino acids. Examples of proteins are hemoglobin, which is found in red blood cells and carry oxygen to all the cells of body. Lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
