1: A biomolecule is any molecule that performs an important function in living organisms. Biomolecules are usually composed of hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, or sulfur atoms.

2: The genetic material of an object is the molecule(s) that play the fundamental role in determining the nature and structure of an organism or cell.

3: Organic compounds are molecules that are composed of carbon such as sugar (which is a type of carbohydrate).

4: Asexual refers to a form of reproduction that involves only one parent that produces genetically identical offspring by budding or the division of a single cell or the entire organism in two parts.

5: Sexual refers to a form of reproduction in which two parents give rise to offspring.
