BCH 2333 Test 1 Questions With
Verified Answers
What is biochemistry - ANSWER -is the study of the chemistry of life
what was the goal of the miller urey experiment - ANSWER -The purpose was to
test the idea that the complex molecules of life (in this case, amino acids) could
have arisen on our young planet (even if the atmosphere was very reduced, so
deprived of O2) through simple, natural chemical reactions. The experiment was
a success in that amino acids, the building blocks of life, were produced during
the simulation.
How did they do this - ANSWER -they mimmicked condition of the old eart, with
the ancient ocean and the atmosphere
-thing to not that the atmosphere was reduced (no O2)
-they heated it up and provided and energy source (lightening was the guess) to
enable certain reactions to occur
-they found from samples that building blocks were formed
How was this experiment further validified - ANSWER -in 1969 metoeriote srtuck
down
-the surface of it was very similar to the building blocks of life isolated in the
experiment
-primordial earth was enoug to create this building life
what building blocks was to be fomed - ANSWER
what is chemical evolution - ANSWER -the formation of complex organic
molecules from simpler inorganic building blocsk
How does molecular complexity arises? 1 - ANSWER -the formation of large
biolgoical molecules (polymers) from inidividula units (momomers)
How does molecular complexity arise? 2 - ANSWER -the diversity of the available
monomers capable of polymerization gives rise to chemical versatility in the
resulting macromolecule -so we have to have different times of monoemrs to
form different types of macromolecules
how can the complexity of the associaiton of individual polymers be sustained -
ANSWER -through complementarity
