Answer:

Structure is particularly important for biological molecules because a slight change in the structure of a large bio molecules like nucleic acids, proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipid molecules can completely destroy its usefulness to a cell and may even change the cell from a normal one to a cancerous one.
