Q. What are the smallest molecules?
The smallest molecule is diatomic hydrogen (H2), with a bond length of 0.74 angstroms. Macromolecules are large molecules composed of smaller subunits; this term from biochemistry refers to nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
Q. Is a molecule living or nonliving?
Molecules are among the most basic units found inside living organisms. A living organism is a living system, such as a vertebrate, insect, plant, or bacterium.

These are things like air, water, rocks, soil and metals.
Q. What are the living and nonliving things found in an estuary ecosystem?
