There are four classes of biomolecules
The first three are covalent polymers:1. Proteins.2. Polysaccharides (Carbohydrates).3. Nucleic acids.4. Lipids form large macromolecular
structures (membranes) using noncovalent interactions.

1.6 What Are Viruses?
Figure 1.23 Viruses are genetic elements enclosed in a protein coat. Viruses are not free-living organisms and can reproduce only within cells. Viruses show an almost absolute specificity for their particular host cells, infecting and multiplying only within those cells. Viruses are known for virtually every kind of cell. Shown here are examples of (a) an animal virus, adenovirus; (b) bacteriophage T4 on E.coli; and (c) a plant virus, tobacco mosaic virus.
