Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is : d. between carbon based molecules.

Explanation:

As compared to the chemistry in non living matter, the chemical reaction that takes place in a cells such as cellular respiration, metabolism, transcription, translation etc.

All these reaction requires or involves carbon, a essential element present in almost every biological molecule or component these molecules are essential for any reaction occur in a cell.
