Are biomolecules not organic compounds? Bensaccount 21:18, 3 May 2004 (UTC)
Bensaccount, your initial edit removed (cf. moved) much valid content and instead basically said, "a biomolecule is an organic molecule". It depends upon the definitions you choose to follow but, from the definitions usually used by a chemist, a biomolecule is not necessarily an organic molecule. I think it's best to leave statements that can be disputed out of the introductory passage when a perfectly good intro already exists. (I'm not saying that the intro isn't open to improvement.)

"Besides the polymeric biomolecules, numerous big organic molecules are absorbed by living systems. Many biomolecules may be not useful or important in the future"
Don't living things absorb other molecules, small or big? And don't living organisms also absorb other non-organic things?
What does "Many biomolecules may be not useful or important in the future" mean? If living things are made of solely on biomolecules, then wouldn't biomolecules be important for sustaining life for future generations? Maybe I just read it wrong, but it seems contradictory to me

The cited author says they'll use the term to refer to "any macromolecule that, like a protein or a nucleic acid, is essential to some typically biological process". Of course that's an example of just one author's use of it, and fits the article's definition, but I don't think it really works as a reference for it if we then immediately change the definition's scope to include smaller molecules.
