CHEM 212 Biochemistry w/ Lab Module 1
problem set 2025 new version update Portage
Learning
What are three ways that biochemists study biological organisms?
Biochemists study 1) the relationship between structure and function of
biomolecules, 2) chemical reactions of organisms (metabolism), and 3)
communication within and among organisms.
What is the definition of biochemistry?
Often referred to as the chemistry of life, biochemistry asks how the
remarkable properties of organisms relate to their molecules.
What is another name for firefly?
lightning bug
Is Li an element common in biological organisms?
, No. See Figure 1.3 for the common elements.
What is known as the "medium of life"?
Water
What is the bond angle associated with trigonal pyramidal shape?
107.5 degrees
Are transition metals commonly found in biological organisms?
Yes. They are trace elements in organisms. See Figure 1.3 for examples.
True or false: Water can make up 85% (by mass) of a living organism.
