Biochemistry

Cell unit

Why Study (think Mrs. Morgan)

Traits Genes give us a PROTEIN that gives us a trait Genes located in the Cell Cells 1 job produce a protein gives trait in body

Traits can be… Anatomy (actual organs, hair, cartilage, “parts”) Physiology (chemicals that control the anatomy Proteins!) Doctors biochemists

Blood test

How would cancer effect this process?

Common Proteins and their Empirical Formulas…

Testosterone C19H28O2

Serotonin C10H1402N2

Adrenaline C8H11O3N

Glucose: C6H12O6

Cholesterol C27H45OH

Estrogen C18H24O2

We already learned a lot of Biochemistry…

Ecological Cycles

We are going to focus on the Carbon and Energy Cycle 2 cell processes/reactions Respiration Photosynthesis

Carbon and Oxygen Cycle

Elements?

Compounds?

Molecules?

Look at biochem sheet

Reactions??

Take molecules, rearrange them to get something new!

Bonds between certain molecules are broken, separate atoms rearrange and bond to form different molecules

Sometimes energy is required, other times energy is produced

Trick: Matter can never be created or destroyed!!

Equation? Just shown on paper

Squares

Hexagons

Circles

Reactants Products
