Answer» Correct Answer - A (a) More than `19` million natural and synthetic organic compounds have been indentified so far and thousands of new ones are made each week in chemical laboratories throughout the world. This number is significantly gretare than the `10, 000` or so inorganic compounds known to exist. (b) A methane molecule while `DNA` contains tens of billions of atoms per molecule.
