Biomolecular

Alright, kiddo! Biomolecules are like building blocks that make up living things. Just like how Lego blocks can be used to build different things, biomolecules can be used to build different parts of your body like your cells and organs. These building blocks are made up of tiny particles called atoms that stick together in different ways.

There are four main types of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates are like the fuel for your body, providing energy for you to run, jump, and play. Lipids are like the walls of your body cells, keeping them safe and protected. Proteins are the workers in your body, doing all sorts of jobs like helping your muscles move or carrying oxygen in your blood. Finally, nucleic acids are the blueprints for your body, providing instructions on how to build and grow.

All of these biomolecules work together to keep your body healthy and functioning properly. But just like how some Lego blocks can break and not work anymore, sometimes biomolecules can break down too. This can lead to problems like diseases or disorders. Scientists study biomolecules to try and understand how they work and how they can keep them healthy, just like how you study your toys to figure out how they work and keep them in good condition!
