Basic Carbon Chemistry
There are two basic types of bonds that carbon makes in living things: single, as in methane, and double as in carbon dioxide.
Carbon is an energy or electron rich molecule that we use for energy directly or for energy storage.
Carbon's basic structure makes it the building block for life.
