Answer by Guest

Answer: Water.

Explanation: Water is a major constituent of all living organisms. The chemical formula of water is H2O, having two molecules of hydrogen (H) and one molecule of oxygen (O). Unlike other biological macromolecules found in living things such as carbohydrates, lipids and proteins which have carbon as their basic unit, water does not contain any carbon atom.
