MOLECULAR BIOCHEMISTRY

Study of the composition and properties of biomolecules that compromises the cell. Carbohydrates (CHO) Proteins (RCHON) Lipids Nucleic acids Enzymes Hormones Vitamins

Study of macromolecules and their metabolic activities in the body. Digestion Absorption Assimilation Utilization Integration into the tissues Metabolic degradation Excretion

Examples of biomolecules:

Digestion Physical – mechanical breakdown Chemical – further breakdown with the aid of enzymes b. Absorption – passage of end products of digestion from the small intestine into the blood c. Assimilation – selective absorption d. Utilization -cell is the important unit of life. Hence a large number of chemical reactions in the cell utilize the nutrients absorbed to produce materials needed for our existence e. Integration - refers to the overlap of many functions of the systems of the human body, as well as its accompanied form. f. 1. Metabolic degradation – conversion of a substance into an active metabolite f. 2. Biotransformation – conversion of a substance to another for biosynthesis g. Excretion

A. Carbohydrates (CHO) b. Proteins (CHON) c. Lipids d. Nucleic acid e. Enzymes f. Hormones g. Vitamins h. Minerals

Incompletely or partially ionized in H2O solution

ELECTROLYTES –

Substances whose water solutions conduct electricity.

It is a process by which a polar compound (contains (+) and (-) ions) is broken apart into its individual ionic components when placed in an aqueous solution

Substances whose water solution do not conduct electricity.

None
