COMPREHENSIVE BIO-CHEM
GUIDE WITH QUESTIONS AND
100 %VERIFIED ANSWERS
Biochemistry - ANSWER Chemistry dealing with chemical
compounds and processes in living organisms
Organic Molecules - ANSWER Lipids, Carbs, Proteins, Nucleic
Acids
always contain carbon and hydrogen.
Autotrophs (Producers) - ANSWER organisms that make their
own food through photosynthesis
Hetrotrophs (Consumers) - ANSWER consume food for energy
because they can't make their own food
Inorganic Molecules - ANSWER Molecules that do not contain
the element carbon and hydrogen together
Organic Elements - ANSWER (HONC) Hydrogen, Oxygen,
Nitrogen, Carbon
1
, Oparin-Haldane hypothesis - ANSWER the combined ideas of
Alexander Oparin and J.B.S. Haldane of how life on earth could
have formed gradually from nonliving chemicals called the
primordial soup hypothesis.
HONC - ANSWER (Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon)
The four most common elements found in living things
Ozone - ANSWER a form of oxygen that has three oxygen
atoms in each molecule instead of two. protects us from
dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun
Miller-Urey Experiment - ANSWER Two scientists attempted
to reproduce the condition of the (assumed) earth's primitive
ocean's under a reducing atmosphere. They produced some of
the key molecules to life (amino acids and nucleotides).
Primordial Soup - ANSWER A liquid rich in organic
compounds, providing favorable conditions for the emergence
and growth of life forms.
2
, atom - ANSWER basic unit of matter
proton - ANSWER positively charged particle found in the
nucleus of an atom
neutron - ANSWER neutral charge- found in the nucleus of an
atom
electron - ANSWER negatively charged particle- found in the
energy levels surrounding the nucleus of an atom
Photosynthesis - ANSWER Plants use the sun's energy to
convert water and carbon dioxide into sugars
Cellular Respiration - ANSWER Process that releases energy
by breaking down glucose and other food molecules in the
presence of oxygen
Carbohydrates - ANSWER Composed of carbon, hydrogen, and
oxygen. Main source of energy in your diet broken down to
simple sugars
Carbohydrate Function - ANSWER Short term energy storage;
Cell structure
