Compare the four different types of organic molecules in living organisms

- Nucleic Acids. The nucleic acids are DNA and RNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid, respectively.

-Proteins. Proteins are probably the most versatile of all the organic molecules, making up many structures and executing various functions within organisms.

-Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates comprise the largest number of organic molecules in organisms. Basically, carbohydrates are sugars; their origin can be traced to photosynthesis, the process by which organisms such as plants use sunlight to transform carbon dioxide and water into food.

-Lipids. Lipids, perhaps better known as fats, come in different forms in your body and contain the most energy of all the organic compounds.
