of the week:
What lies behind us and what lies before us are small
matters compared to what lies within us.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Question
of the week: What freshwater mammal is venomous?
Answer to last week's question: How long does it take for food to digest?
The stomach holds two liters of semi-digested food for 3to 5 hours. The stomach slowly releases food to the rest of the digestive tract. 15 hours or more after the first bite started down the alimentary canal, the final residue is passed along to the rectum and is excreted through the anus as feces.
Unit
3: Chemistry of Life: Biochemistry (Chapter 6)
CONCEPTS
: BASIC CHEMISTRY (Section 6.1)
-6
most common elements in living things
-atomic
structure (proton, neutron, electron)
-atomic
number vs. atomic mass
-isotopes
-chemical
equations ( reactants > products)
-ions
and how they are formed
-element
vs. compound
-ionic
vs. covalent bonds
-pH
(acid vs. base)
CONCEPT:
ORGANIC CHEMISTRY ( Section 6.3)
-organic
vs. inorganic compounds
-dehydration
synthesis
-hydrolysis
4
MAIN CLASSES OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
*for each class make sure you know the elements involved,
their structure, special chemical groups, monomers, polymers, how they are
formed, how they are broken, their
functions in living things and some example compounds found in that class)
-CARBOHYDRATES:
(monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides, hydroxide group)
-LIPIDS:
( fatty acids, glycerol, carboxyl group, hydroxide group, saturated vs.
unsaturated fats)
-PROTEINS:
(amino acids, amino group, carboxyl group, variable group, peptide bond)
-NUCLEIC
ACIDS: (nucleotides( sugar, phosphate and nitrogen base), DNA, RNA, ATP,
gene, hydroxide group)
