    Biomolecules are molecules that occur naturally in living organisms, consisting mainly of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and phosphorus. There are four major classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are primarily produced by plants and have a general formula of Cx(H2O)y, with examples including cane sugar, glucose, and starch.

    -Biomolecules consist mainly of carbon and hy
    drogen with nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur and ph
    osphorus.

    y atoms, which are covalently bound together.

    Carbohydrate
    -Are primarily produced by plants and form a very lar
    ge group of naturally occuring organic compounds
    -Some common examples of of carbohydrates are ca
    ne sugar, glucose, starch,etc.Most of them have a gen
    eral formula , Cx(H2O)y, and were considered as hydr
    ates of carbon from where the name carbohydrate w
    as derived.
    -Emperical formula: Cn(H2O)n
