molecules are typically made up of chains and rings that contain hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen atoms, as well as carbon atoms. These molecules may consist of anywhere from 10 to millions of atoms linked together in specific arrays. Most, but not all, of the carbon-containing molecules in cells are built up from members of one of four different families of small organic molecules: sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, and fatty acids.

Answer:

molecules can be formed by stringing carbon atoms together in a straight line or by connecting carbons together to form rings

Step-by-step explanation:

molecule exists when two or more atoms join together by forming chemical bonds. ... When atoms of at least two different elements come together to form chemical bonds, these molecules can be called compounds.
