INTRO

A biomolecule, also known as a biological molecule, is a term used to

describe molecules found in organisms that are required for one or
more typical biological processes, such as cell division, morphogenesis,
or development.[1] Biomolecules include large macromolecules (or
polyanions) like proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as
well as small molecules like primary metabolites, secondary
metabolites, and natural products.
This class of material is also known as biological materials.
Biomolecules are an important component of living creatures.
Endogenous biomolecules are often created within the organism[2, 3],
but organisms usually require external biomolecules, such as specific
nutrients, to thrive.
Biochemistry and molecular biology are subfields of biology that
investigate biomolecules and their reactions.
The majority of biomolecules are organic substances, and the human
body is composed of only four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen,
and nitrogen.
However, several additional elements, such as biometals, are present in
trace levels.

The uniformity of specific types of molecules (biomolecules) and certain

metabolic pathways are invariant features among the wide diversity of
life forms; thus, these biomolecules and metabolic pathways are
referred to as "biochemical universals"[4] or "theory of material unity
of living beings," a unifying concept in biology that, along with cell
theory and evolution theory, is referred to as "biochemical
universals"[4] .[5]
