Cell
The study if structure and functioning of biologica molecules
Molecular biology
Is the sum total of all biochemical reactions in the body
Metabolism
The building blocks of life:
✔️ hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen
✔️ monosaccharides, organic bases, amino acids, fatty acids and glycerol
Rtyped of biomolecules
Carbohydrates Proteins Lipids Enzymes Nucleic acids
Most abundant molecules of lide
Carbohydrates
Is the chief carbohydrates of the body and forms the basis of cell energy metabolism
Glucose
Have a wide range of biological functions in living organisms
Carbohydrates or Sugars
Carbohydrates consists of 4. What it is?
Carbon
Hydrogen
Oxygen
nitrogen is present as in gluosamin
Gives rise the simplest carbohydrates, glyceraldehydes and hydroxyacetone
Glycerol
Most common in cells
Pentose and Hexose
Include the glycosaminolgycans found in bone, cartilage…
Sugar derivatives
