1 Biochemistry of Cells. 2 Uses of Organic Molecules Americans consume an average of 140 pounds of sugar per person per year Cellulose, found in plant.
Organic Chemistry All living things are mostly composed of 4 elements: H, O, N, C “honk” Compounds are broken down into 2 general categories: Inorganic.
Biochemistry of Cells ORGANIC MOLECULES: Normally found in living systems Contain C (carbon) Usually in rings or long chains Often attached to other.
*structural isomers *geometric isomers *enantiomers Example of enantiomers: Chemical Components of Cells.
