Teens & Depression. â 1 Depression is a serious problem today and one of the nationâs leading killers of teenaged boys when the number of cases of suicide it generates are factored into the equation.
The first organic molecules were probably very simple carbon-based molecules made of few atoms. These molecules then combined with other simple molecules to form more complex molecules. Over many years and probably trillions and trillions of chemical reactions, more complex molecules, and more stable molecules, formed.
An organic molecule is a molecule that is createdâor theoretically could be createdâby a living organism. Sugar, DNA and fat are all organic molecules. Quartz, graphite and plastic are not organic molecules. Most organic molecules have a carbon backbone, meaning that their structure is made up of carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms. There are still other atoms in the molecule, but without the structural support provided by carbon, the entire molecule would all fall apart.
