1-1 BASIC THEMES
1. Recall List the six simple molecules that may have given rise to early molecules and
cells.
Answer: Water, methane, carbon dioxide, ammonia, nitrogen, and hydrogen
2. Recall List and briefly describe the eight levels of structural organization in the human
body.
Answer: See Figure 1.1.
1-2 CHEMICAL FOUNDATIONS OF BIOCHEMISTRY
3. Recall Organic chemistry focuses on the study of compounds that
(a) contain oxygen and nitrogen.
(b) contain carbon and hydrogen.
(c) are derived from petroleum.
(d) are insoluble in water.
(e) contain ionic bonds.
(f) contain metals.

4. Recall Describe the characteristics of the four basic classes of small molecules found
in cells.
Answer: Amino acids have a central carbon atom that is bonded to a carboxyl
group, an amino group, a hydrogen, and a variable group called the side chain.
Carbohydrates are compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, with a
general formula of (CH2O)n, where n is at least 3. Nucleotides are composed of a
five-carbon sugar, a nitrogen-containing ring, and one or more phosphate groups.
Lipids are composed of long chains of hydrocarbons, although they do have small
polar portions as well.
5. Recall Which of the following statements defines a functional group as it relates to
organic chemistry?
(a) A type of chemical bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms
(b) A method for naming organic compounds
(c) A specific arrangement of atoms within a molecule that determines its
chemical properties
(d) A classification of compounds based on their molecular weight
Answer: (c) A specific arrangement of atoms within a molecule that determines its
chemical properties
6. Recall Match each entry in Column A with one in Column B; Column A lists some
important functional groups, whereas Column B shows their structures.
