False


The importance of carbon as the main constituent of biological molecules is its versatility in bonding with other atoms. This means that upon combination with hydrogen and oxygen, it can form carbohydrates. With nitrogen, it is able to find amino acids and protein molecules. There are many other such uses of carbon in biology.
