Human cells are your basic unit of life. All living processes occur at the level of the cell.

Thus, you are

living because of the billions of cells in your body.

The human body is composed of roughly 30 trillion cells that collectively perform the essential functions
of life. The cells can perform these life-sustaining tasks with the help of several organic molecules
present in them. These organic molecules are referred to as biomolecules.

The biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures, and they are involved in a vast array of life
functions. They are composed of more than 25 naturally occurring elements, with the primary elements
being carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur.

Carbon compounds have major involvement in the formation of biomolecules. They covalently bind with
other elements to form several other compounds. Some biomolecules are considered derivatives of
hydrocarbons, they’re formed by replacing hydrogen atoms from functional groups like alcohols,
amines, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic groups.

Approximately 10,000 to 100,000 molecules are present in a cell to regulate bodily function. But the four
major types of biomolecules include carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins. Most of the other
compounds are derivatives of these major primary compounds.

Every biomolecule has its characteristics and is designated to perform some specific function essential
for life.
