Carbono
Bioelement found in the organic biomolecules and gases as carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO). Organic biomolecule which is Glucose Fructose responsible for storing and transporting energy or is a Galactose Ribose structural component.
Cellulose
Celulosa
Polysaccharide (carbohydrate) which is the structural component of the plant cell wall and the most common organic compound on Earth.
Cholesterol
Colesterol Lipid which is a structural component of animal cell membranes and is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity. It is also the precursor of steroid hormones, bile acids, and vitamin D.
Collagen
Colgeno
A structural animal protein found in the connective tissues of vertebrates and the most abundant protein in mammals.
Organic macromolecule formed by the union of nucleotides and found in the genetic material of cells. It contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms.
Disaccharide
