The
molecular
structure of
α-
D-
glucopyranose,
a
carbohydrate
and a typical organic
molecule,
contains six carbon atoms (C = carbon, H = hydrogen, O = oxygen).
A
molecular
model of
α-
D-
glucopyranose
(black = carbon, light blue = hydrogen, red = oxygen).
All living organisms (including Mickey, shown here) depend on
organic
molecules
including
carbohydrates,
lipids,
proteins,
and
DNA.
