CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF LIVING ORGANISMS. CELLULAR LEVEL OF LIFE
Keywords:
Living organisms, chemical composition, cellular level, water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, molecular biology, biological processes.Abstract
This article is devoted to the study of the chemical composition of living organisms and their role and significance in life. The essence of life at the cellular level, the main chemical components of the cell structure - water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and their functional properties are analyzed. The article provides information about the interaction of substances inside the cell and the mechanisms of biological processes at the molecular level. In addition, the influence of chemical composition on other levels of life is also covered. This research is useful for scientists and students working in the fields of biology, biochemistry and molecular biology.
