Question

What is an organic compound found in most cells?

Answer 1

Hint: In this question we have to name one organic compound that is found in almost all living cells. For this we will first try to understand what an organic compound is and what are different types of organic compounds. We should know that most of the organic compounds are made of chains of carbon atoms.

Complete answer:
As we know, the chemical compounds that are present in living cells are called organic compounds. Or we can also say that they are carbon-containing compounds and associated with organisms. There are various types of organic compounds present in living cells.
However we divide it into four major categories, such as carbohydrate, protein, nucleic acid and lipids.
As we know that glucose is classified under one organic compound which is carbohydrate.
A monosaccharide is the simplest form of carbohydrate which is composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. We know that glucose is a monomer which is formed by six carbon atoms.
The molecular formula of glucose is
${C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}$.
IT is a monosaccharide that acts as an instant form of energy. It is the simplest form of sugar found in cells. We know that glucose present in blood is transported to cell and inside cells, the glucose is broken down by aerobic respiration.
Hence the correct option is Glucose.

Note:
We should note that Glycolysis converts glucose into pyruvate which is further metabolized by the $TCA$ cycle and electron transport chain to produce energy in the form of ATP. We should also know that the organic compound present in traces in living cells can be detected and isolated by a method called Tracer technique.
