are organic molecules a living entity?
Organic Compounds The basic units to build the modern cells involve organic chemicals such as carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides, and amino acids. The macromolecules for supporting life such as DNA, RNA, and proteins are assembled from these basic units. The organized sum total of these molecules becomes a cell - a living entity. Living organisms use carbohydrates for energy, lipids for body fats, cell walls, hormones, nucleic acids for DNA in cells, and protein for skin, hair, muscles, hemoglobin, antibodies, enzymes.
