when I started to rely on memorizing as my main goal. It worked throughout high school so‚ I decided to major in Biochemistry. However‚ the amount of worked if not tripled‚ doubled. I did great my first semester but‚ everything became harder and harder after because‚ memorizing was not a skill that was enough to help me learn. As I learned that‚ I started to realize that‚ maybe‚ biochemistry was not a field I wanted to be in because‚ other than memorizing the concepts that I could‚ I didn’t enjoy learning

1. Prehistoric Times - Beginning of the Christian Era (Black Magic) Existence of Fire Arguably the first chemical reaction used in a controlled manner was fire. However‚ for millennia fire was simply a mystical force that could transform one substance into another while producing heat and light. Fire affected many aspects of early societies. These ranged from the simplest facets of everyday life‚ such as cooking and habitat lighting‚ to more advanced technologies‚ such as pottery‚ bricks‚ and

Biochemistry: categories of organic compounds Ruddy Severino There are four major compounds that compose the human body. It is impossible that anything living on earth today can live out these organic compounds. Those compounds are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ and nucleotides. Each compound has a major important function that is essential to the human body as well as other living organisms on earth. Carbohydrates serve as the main source of energy. Carbohydrates contain carbon‚ hydrogen

Areas of Study * Five traditional areas of study are organic chemistry‚ inorganic chemistry‚ biochemistry‚ analytical chemistry‚ and physical chemistry. * Organic chemistry- defined as the studies of all the chemicals containing carbon * Inorganic chemistry- defined as the studies of all the chemicals that do not contain carbon * Biochemistry- is the study of the processes that take place in organisms *

Scientists believe that in order to successfully look for extraterrestrial life we must first look for water because based on what we know about life and biochemistry‚ it’s likely that the alien biochemistry will need a solvent (like water) and one or more elemental (like carbon) to be able to function successfully. We also Believe that if we are looking for any type of life on other planets we should first be looking for microbes
