Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon is the universal building block for life as we know it. Its ability to form complex, stable molecules with itself and other elements, particularly hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen is unique. Organic chemistry involves mil-lions of compounds.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are six main elements that are the fundamental building blocks of life. They are, in order of least to most common: sulfur, phosphorous, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen.
Detailed explanation-3: -Life on earth would not be possible without carbon. This is in part due to carbon’s ability to readily form bonds with other atoms, giving flexibility to the form and function that biomolecules can take, such as DNA and RNA, which are essential for the defining characteristics of life: growth and replication.
