Earlier, it was believed that only living things could make organic compounds. But this belief was challenged, as the German chemist Wöhler synthesized urea, which is an organic molecule, from inorganic materials in 1828. Today we even could synthesize DNA, which is a genetic material, from inorganic materials, and hence create life.

Out of approximately 100 chemical elements, about 20 are found in living organisms. (Actually not all of them are present in every organism. The elements available in each organism differ by nature) These elements could be divided into 2 major groups as Macro Elements and Micro Elements, according to their presence within organisms.  

Water is the most abundant inorganic compound present within living organisms and without water life could not exist on the planet. The following are some of the characteristics of water which are vital for life;

Biology is a subject that deals with the study of structures, functions and relationships of living organisms. The things around us can be divided into two groups as Living Things and Non-living Things. In Biology, the attention is majorly payed to the Livings Things category.

Why do people write blogs? Seems like a quite complicated question. As I believe, humans-as social beings-are in the habit of showing others what they do and what they like. Not only that, but also 'the eagerness to share things with others' also could be added to this list. As a student learning biology, the same idea struck my mind. Can't I do something new, so that I could share what I learn at my classes, with the other folks? The answer came in a flash. Inspired by my brother's blog: " IT Imprint ", I decided to open a blog of my own.
