Biology carbon compounds

1. Section 2–3 Carbon Compounds This section explains how the element carbon able to form millions of carbon, or organic, compounds. It describes the four groups of organic compounds found in living things.

4. The Chemistry of Carbon

11. Nucleotide Nucleotides are molecules that, when joined together, make up the structural units of RNA and DNA. The nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a phosphate group, and a 5-carbon sugar.
