( Biomolecule)
A biomolecule is any organic molecule that is produced by a living organism, including large polymeric molecules such as proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids as well as small molecules such as primary metabolites, secondary metabolites, and natural products. As organic molecules, biomolecules consist primarily of carbon and hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, and, to a smaller extent, phosphorus and sulfur. Other elements sometimes are incorporated but are much less common. A diverse range of biomolecules exist, including Nucleosides can be phosphorylated by specific kinases in the cell, producing nucleotides, which are the molecular building blocks of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). nucleotides contain carbon nitrogen oxygen hydrogen and phosphorus.they take part in energy transfer systemthis is a group of small complex molecules forming information transfer system in cell and are basic unit of nuclic acid each nucleotide is made of aacyclic nitrogen base a pentose and one to 3 phosphate group
