BIOL 1030 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Living Systems, Cell Nucleus, Transfer Rna
Document Summary
Humans and other food animals need a variety of materials in order to form the molecular building blocks of life. What is the primary source of these materials? the sun vaccines. Living systems are made of complex molecules including carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur acids. Even though there are more than 100 elements known to exist, these molecules are comprised of only a few elements. What are these elements? carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur sodium, potassium, calcium, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur fluorine, chlorine, iodine, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, iodine. Dna molecules store organic molecule genetic information and allow for self- replicating life. Molecules of dna can be long and very complex. They always consist of smaller molecules that are made up of nitrogenous bases, phosphate groups, and 5-carbon sugars. Dna is an example of a complex _______. protein structure organic molecule inorganic molecule carbohydrate polymer.
