Introduction to Biochemistry Biochemistry : a multidisciplinary science that explores the chemistry of living organisms and molecular basis for changes occurring in living cells. Principal areas of Biochemistry 1. Struture and Function of Biomolecules Based on structure depend the function (structure function relationship) Example: Hemoglobin S differs from regular adult hemoglobin (hemoglobin A) by just one single amino acid. A valine replaces a glutamine in the 6th position of the beta

To be more scientific using its equation 6CO2 + 6H2O – Sunlight Energy – C6H12O6 + 6H2O‚ carbon dioxide particles travel through a leaf’s cell surface‚ which is where the chloroplast organelle produces “chlorophyll molecules forming a light harvesting complex absorbing that energy‚ exciting electrons” ((n.d.).

Cell Organelles Nucleus Its function is to control the cell’s activities and retain the chromosomes. The nucleus is bound by a double membrane‚ the nuclear envelope. The nuclear envelope has pores in it to allow the transport of mRNA. The cytoplasm like material is called nucleoplasm which contains chromatin (coils of DNA and histone proteins)‚ it is chromatin that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Within the nucleus is a small spherical body called the nucleolus which

length of the wavelengths that hit the chloroplasts in the plant leaves and effects how fast or if photosynthesis occurs. The equation for photosynthesis is 6 CO2 + 6H2O + light energy=C6H12O6 + 6O2 meaning that when a plant cell absorbs carbon dioxide and water alongside sunlight then the plant will put off glucose and oxygen gas in result. This process is where humans and other heterotrophs get their oxygen to survive. Sunlight is captured through a pigment called chlorophyll‚ which absorbs every

to make oxygen. Photosynthesis takes place in leaves. The leaves are made up of very small cells. Inside these cells are tiny structures called chloroplasts. Each chloroplast contains a green chemical called chlorophyll which gives leaves their green color. They used to absorb light energy. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates much oxygen as a by-product. Plants needs carbon dioxide‚ water‚ sunlight to live and make photosynthesis work.

Chromatography is a set up of laboratory a technique that is used to separate a chemical mixture. This technique is very useful as it allows us to follow the course of
