Objectives After studying this Unit‚ you will be able to • define the biomolecules like carbohydrates‚ proteins and nucleic acids; • classify carbohydrates‚ proteins‚ nucleic acids and vitamins on the basis of their structures; • explain the difference between DNA and RNA; • appreciate the role of biomolecules in biosystem. Biomolecules “It is the harmonious and synchronous progress of chemical reactions in body which leads to life”. 14 Unit A living system grows‚ sustains and reproduces

Lesson 02.08 DBA/Module Exam Lesson 02.01: Chemistry of Life · Explain why biological macromolecules are important for everyday life. Cells make large macromolecules by bonding smaller molecules together into chains called polymers (from the Greek polys‚ "many‚" and meris‚ "part"). Polymers are large molecules composed of many identical or similar subunits called monomers. There are four categories of biological macromolecules that provide energy and structure to living organisms and their cells

Our aim: was to find out which substances from our five samples have reducing sugars present to determine what they may be for example; they could be monosacchrides or disaccharides. This was carried out by using Benedict’s test. To find out which substances from our five samples were non-reducing sugars‚ since some disaccharides are reducing sugars and this would be carried out by using Benedict’s test. To find out which substances had starch present using iodine To find out which substances

purpose of the experiment is to understand some general tests that detect fats‚proteins and carbohydrates in foods. INTRODUCTION Carbohydrates are also known as sacharides. There are 4 main groups of carbohydrates‚which are monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates play an important role in living organism as it is the energy storage‚ and it also plays an important role in structural of living organisms. There are various of test can be done to identified

3 Yeast Metabolism Metabolism refers to the biochemical assimilation (in anabolic pathways) and dissimilation (in catabolic pathways) of nutrients by a cell. Like in other organisms‚ in yeast these processes are mediated by enzymic reactions‚ and regulation of the underlying pathways have been studied in great detail in yeast. Anabolic pathways include reductive processes leading to the production of new cellular material‚ while catabolic pathways are oxidative processes which remove electrons

Introduction The Digestive system breaks down the ingested food into absorbable forms of nutrients and absorbs nutrients‚ ions and water from the external environment of the body. It is designed to maximize digestion and absorption. The functional structures of the digestive system are the passage‚ the glands like salivary glands‚ gastric glands‚ pancreatic‚ intestinal glands and liver. Also‚ the four layers of the digestive system are mucosa‚ submucosa‚ muscularis and serosa. The digestive system

Basic chemistry of a cell Properties of water – – – Life on Earth began in water and evolved there for 3 billion years before spreading onto land. Modern life‚ even terrestrial life‚ remains tied to water. All living organisms require water more than any other substance. Human beings for example‚ can survive for quite for a few weeks without food‚ but only a week or so without water. – – – Water is deceptively simple. It is shaped something like a wide V‚ with its two hydrogen atoms joined
