BIOL 445 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: No Charge, Ionic Bonding, Hydrolysis
Document Summary
Basic biochemistry: chemistry science dealing with the properties and transformation of all matter. Chemical reactions transformations in which different forms of matter combine or. Element matter that cannot be broken down into simpler substances via chemical. C. atom smallest unit of an element that still has the properties of the element. D. molecule stable assembly of 2 or more atoms; o2 and h2o are examples. E. compound assembly of 2 or more different elements; h2o & co2. F. mixture assembly of 2 or more compounds; doesn"t require a chemical reaction. Have the following characteristics: always contain c and h, always have covalent bonds, tend to be very large in size, associated with living things. C. these molecules are the building blocks of all cells and determine both the. D. all biomolecules are created thru the dehydration synthesis reaction. E. all biomolecules are split (digested) thru hydrolysis. Water constitutes 70 to 90% of the body weight of a living thing.
