Organic molecules, like proteins,
and carbo, perform several
functions for living .
Note worthy functions are the structural
function (as part of the material that
constitutes, de-limits and maintains
organs, membranes, cell organelles,
etc.), the energetic function (chemical
reactions of the energetic metabolism),
the control and informative function
(genetic code control, inter and
intracellular signaling,
integration) and the function
of proteins (facilitation of chemical
reactions).
