Laboratory Report SCPB111 Principles of Biology Faculty of Applied Sciences Pearson Institute of Higher Education 14 March 2018 Abstract Biological molecules are part of Introduction Biological molecules are formerly known as macromolecules. Macromolecules are large molecules that are formed from smaller molecules called monomers (Ellisman‚ 2014). They are formed by dehydration reactions‚ in which a water molecule is removed during the formation of bonds (Wayne Huang‚ 2015). Biological molecules

Macro molecules A macromolecule is a very large molecule commonly created by polymerization of smaller subunits. In biochemistry‚ the term is applied to the three conventional biopolymers (nucleic acids‚ lipids‚ proteins and carbohydrates)‚ as well as non-polymeric molecules with large molecular mass such as lipids and macrocycles. The individual constituent molecules of macromolecules are called monomers(mono=single‚ meros=part). Usage The term macromolecule was coined by Nobel laureate Hermann

Macromolecules Biologically‚ there are four general types of macromolecules or biomolecules. They are carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ lipids and nucleic acids. Each of these plays an important role in maintaining life among living creatures and each is a piece of the elaborate puzzle of metabolism. Each has a different chemical composition and interacts with other molecules differently. Most of these biomolecules come from food sources and we are therefore already familiar with them. Without a

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the fundamental molecule of life encoding the genetic code for the development and functioning of every living organism and a large variety of viruses. RNA‚ proteins‚ and DNA are the main macromolecules‚ which are necessary for every form of life. The genetic system is encoded in the form of a sequence of nucleotides (guanine‚ adenine‚ thymine‚ and cytosine)‚ which are denoted by the letters G‚ A‚ T‚ and C. Most DNA molecules consist of double-stranded helices‚ composed
