What element is likely to be found in the molecules of living organisms?
Carbon. Life on Earth is based on the complex chemistry of Carbon.
Life on earth is said to be carbon based because organic molecules contain what kind of atoms?
Carbon atoms. Organic molecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, all contain carbon atoms as their central structural element. This is why life on Earth is considered carbon-based.
What planets are known to have a carbon based life forms?
Currently, Earth is the only planet where carbon-based life forms are known to exist. However, the search for life, including carbon-based life forms, continues on other planets and moons within our solar system and beyond.
What type of carbon based molecule are DNA and RNA?
A carbon based molecule is a polymer. Edit: A carbon based molecule does not have to be a polymer, although some polymers are carbon based. For example methane - CH4 is carbon based and not a polymer. Carbon based molecules are called organic compounds.
Is carbon in Earth's atmosphere?
carbon monixide, carbon dioxide, and plain carbon
Are bugs carbon-based?
All life on Earth is carbon based, including bugs.
Are most organisms said to be carbon based?
All organisms on Earth are carbon based.
What is life on earth based on?
CARBON!
Everything that is alive on earth made of?
earth and life is carbon based
What percent of organisms on earth are considered carbon-based?
Nearly all organisms on Earth are considered carbon-based, which means carbon is a key component in their biological molecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids. Carbon is essential for life because of its unique ability to form strong chemical bonds with other elements.
What percentage of organisms on Earth are considered to be carbon based?
It is 99%
What is the percentage of organism on earth are considered carbon based?
about 99%
Are sponges silicon based life?
No, they are carbon-based as is all life on earth (as we know it). They do have silica as part of their body, but the main part is carbon.
Why does carbon have a central role in the chemistry on living organisms?
99.999999999% of all life on earth is carbon based.
All life on earth is based on chains of atoms of this element?
carbon
Has carbon improved your life?
Since all living forms on Earth are based on carbon, I suppose carbon can be said to be somewhat important to me.
Life on this planet based on what atom?
All life on earth is "Carbon based"; meaning they are composed of Hydrocarbons.
