A living system grows‚ provides for itself and reproduces by itself. The coolest thing about a living system is that it is composed of non-living molecules and atoms. Biochemistry is basically that the pursuit of knowledge of what goes on chemically within a living system is classifies as such. Although there are thousands of different types of molecules in a cell‚ only few are bimolecular like the four common macromolecules and many more. Proteins and carbohydrates are important factors of our food

large polymers called polysaccharides 5.1 Sugars as Monomers 1. How Monomers Differ a. Monosaccharide – simple sugar‚ monomer i. Carbonyl group serves as a distinguishing feature 1. At end of molecule‚ forms an aldehyde sugar (aldose) 2. In middle of molecule‚ forms a ketone sugar (ketose) ii. Presence of a carbonyl group along with multiple hydroxyl groups provides an array of functional groups in sugars iii. Number of carbons also

(ii) Homolytic – here each partner supplies one electron as a radical (a species with a single unpaired electron). These reactions involve a single-electron push – see W (2) Ch 37 on Radical reactions: Examples – the SET reaction in the Grignard practical as well as the classical free-radical chlorination of a hydrocarbon like cyclohexane‚ which typically illustrates the free-radical mechanism (see side-chain functionalisation in Aromatic notes with NBS)‚ in which there are initiation‚ propagation

Glycolysis Two stage process Stage 1 – trapping and destabilising glucose in order to produce 2x3c molecules (5steps in the process). Requires energy (2 ATPs) Stage 2 – oxidation of the 3c molecules to pyruvate (5steps in the process). Energy generated (4tps and 2 NADH) Stage 1 Step 1 – trapping glucose‚ glucose enters via facilitated diffusion through specific transport proteins. The family of transporters is known as GLUT‚ GLUT 3 (brain‚ nerve tissue) Low Km allows relatively constant rate

COVENANT UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY COURSE TITLE: General Organic Chemistry COURSE CODE: CHM 121 ‚ UNIT: 2.0 . INTRODUCTORY AND IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY Organic chemistry is the study of the compounds of carbon. Carbon compounds are far more numerous than those of other elements because carbon are able to bond together to form a wide range of chains and rings. The subject is named organic chemistry because living organisms are composed

BIO 113 Spring 2012 - Dr. MJ Bernot Study Guide – Exam 2 Chapter 7- IS AT THE BOTTOM. Bernot wrote it so hopefully it is useful • Describe the structure of DNA and discuss how it facilitates the ability of DNA to act as genetic material • Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes • Describe the process of DNA replication as a semi-conservative process. Compare and contrast the synthesis of the leading and lagging strands in DNA replication. • Explain
