Jordan Wong Schiefer Acc Bio Block 6 11/15/12 Unit 4 Biochemistry relates to all things living because biochemistry makes up everything living. The atoms that make up the cells within our body are a part of biochemistry. There is carbon in every living thing and carbon based molecules are a part of biochemistry. Unit 4 describes the biochemistry in all living things. It explains the atomic structure and ions‚ properties of water and pH‚ organic molecules‚ chemical reactions and enzymes.

Title Biochemical Analysis of Blood Abstract Introduction After blood is collected from a patient it is analysed to check the fragments present and the fluid which will either be plasma or serum. After plasma is separated from blood it recollects the fibrinogen which in turn helps in clotting however serum is the portion of blood which remains after the fibrinogen is removed. Serum contains approximately 6-8% of the proteins which make up blood however plasma creates up to 55% of blood

Macromolecules The four macromolecules that are essential to life are Carbohydrates‚ Lipids‚ Proteins‚ and Nucleic Acids. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are made up of carbon‚ hydrogen‚ and oxygen. It provides energy for the body‚ especially the brain and the nervous system. The food sources are in sugar and grains. Lipids Lipids are made up of hydrogen‚ carbon and oxygen. It provides Energy storage‚ acting as structural components of cell membranes‚ and hormone production

Test for the Presence of Macromolecules Introduction In this experiment‚ we are trying to identify the presence of macromolecules in certain solutions. As in our daily lives‚ macromolecules are the essential nutrients that we have to take every day‚ therefore we would like to identify the types of macromolecules that contain in some of the food or solution in order to maintain a healthy life. There are four groups of macromolecules which are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins and

Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Chemist Forensic chemistry is becoming an increasingly popular topic. It is being used quite often in the real world with police investigations‚ cases‚ and is also being magnified in television shows including Forensic Files‚ CSI‚ and Bones (What is Forensic Chemistry?). Forensic chemistry is important because without it we wouldn’t know the outcome of a crime. The forensic chemist’s job is to examine evidence given to them from a crime scene‚ when it happened‚ and

Background: Lipid and protein composition varies in tissue types. Results: When comparing liver‚ muscle‚ and adipose tissue‚ adipose tissue had the highest percent lipid and liver tissue had the highest percent protein. Conclusion: Based on analysis of the gels‚ the liver appeared to have the most variety in proteins when comparing liver‚ muscle‚ and adipose tissue. Significance: In order to determine the composition of a tissue‚ specific macromolecules can be extracted‚ quantified‚ and analyzed
