MCQ On Biomolecules

Biomolecules are the molecules or ions present in an organism that are essential for the biological processes such as growth, development, cell division, etc. Biomolecules include large molecules or macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, whereas the smaller molecules or macromolecules include metabolites and natural products.
