Biochemistry
Biochemistry is the study of the structure, composition and chemical processes in all living organisms. It covers the structures and functions of various cellular components, including proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, lipids, and other biomolecules.

What is the major monosaccharide in our body?
Glucose, usually stored in the liver and muscle cells as glycogen.
Is fermentation Aerobic or Anaerobic?
Anaerobic means "without air (oxygen)". Fermentation allows some cells to make ATP without having oxygen present. Fermentation is not nearly as efficient as aerobic respiration, since it produces a net yield of only 2 ATP per glucose molecule (aerobic respiration produces 36-38 ATP per glucose).
What are the 12 major branches of biology?
The 12 major branches of biology are
zoology-study of animals
Who else uses photosynthesis besides plants?
Photosynthesis also occurs in some types of algae, bacteria, and protists. These organisms have chlorophyll or similar pigments that enable them to convert sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Benzaldehyde has a structural formula of C6H5CHO and a Hill formula of C7H6O. It is a liquid at STP and has a molar mass of 106.122 grams per mole.
How does an anticodon compare to a codon?
The anticodon is a sequence of three unpaired nucleotides in transfer RNA, which can bind through base pairing, to the complementary triplet of nucleotides, or codon in a messenger RNA molecule. The codon makes up the genetic code, the anticodon makes the amino acid.
Is the amino group present in all amino acids?
no there r 20 different kinds of amino acids which differ from each other in chemical formula. all 20 amino acids have same NH2,H and COOH group, attached with C but they have different side chains due to which they are different in molecular formula.....

Which one is the smallest Rna molecule?
Transfer Rnas are massive in comparison.
Compare and contrast photosynthesis and chemosynthesis?
Chemosynthesis gets its energy from oxidation of inorganic substance, photosynthesis gets its energy from light.
Chemosynthesis could occur just about anywhere there are enough suitable chemicals to oxidize [metabolize], while photosynthesis could occur only when there is sufficient light.
What are polymers made from plant and animal products?
"Synthetic polymer are long-chain molecules made by chemists in the laboratory.
Synthetic polymers developed in the early 1900's included Bakelite, rayon, and
cellophane. One of the earliest of the synthetic polymers made from petroleum products
was nylon, invented in 1939. Nylon could be spun into fibers, and woven into fabrics.
Nylon had many of the same properties as silk, and during World War 11 became a
substitute for parachutes. The success of nylon products led to the invention of rayon,
Dacron, Orion, and polyester.
Synthetic polymers uses are endless. They are used for clothing, packaging materials,
containers, coatings, toys, car parts, appliance parts, wall coverings, etc. The properties
of synthetic polymers are often enhanced by the properties of natural polymers in
2
products. Polyester/cotton blends are often found in shirts for breathability and body of
cotton and the wrinkle resistance of polyester.
Plastics revolutionized the packaging industry. Teflon made nonstick cookware a reality.
Levels of stretch in fabrics were found in Lycra and Spandex. Kevlar is strong enough
to stop bullets. (Bullet proof vests)"

What are steroids functions in a cell?
Steroids are found as the primary precursor, cholesterol, which is used to make the cell membrane less stiff or viscous, allowing it to flex and allow for better solubility of vital compounds that have to traverse or bind to the cell membrane.
Other steroids are used as growth regulation and gene expression factors. Steroids bind to enzymes and other regulatory factors that influence the expression of certain genes.
Ivory Soap is less dense than water. A bar of ivory soap weighs less than the volume of water it would displace if it were fully submerged. Since the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced water, that produces a net upward force on it. It will rise in the water until enough of it is sticking out of the water so that the buoyant force is equal (and opposite) to the soap bar's weight. When that happens, it floats, just like in the commercials.
Is fermentation the opposite process of cellular respiration?
No, fermentation is another form of respiration. It occurs when there is no final acceptor for the electrons in the transport chain. The opposite process of cellular respiration is photosynthesis because it builds up the molecules that respiration breaks down.
An 11 M KOH solution indicates there are 11 moles of KOH per liter of water. 1 mole of KOH has a volume of 27.4 mL, so to account for the added volume it is necessary to add 15.75 moles of KOH per liter of water, or 884 grams per liter.
What is the substrate of isomerase?
the substrate in isomerase is protein, the myth that is fructose is absolutely a lie.
BUT WAIT?
have you noticed that 'iso' is a type of triangle
TRIANGLE??
ILLUMINATI
the substrate is illuminati
No, albumin is a protein found in blood plasma, not an electrolyte. Electrolytes are ions that carry an electric charge and are important for various bodily functions, such as regulating fluid balance and nerve function.
What is a type of system of membranous organelles subdividing Eukaryotic cells?
The endomembrane system is a network of membranous organelles that work together to modify, package, and transport proteins and lipids in eukaryotic cells. It includes organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and vesicles.
What is the cytoskeleton and what are the two of its major components?
The cytoskeleton is a network of filamentous proteins that holds the organelles in place and maintains the shape of a cell. It is composed of microtubules (composed of the protein tubulin), intermediate fibers, and microfilaments.
All Cells carry, contain and control all sorts of proteins that are comprised completely from Amino acids.
What is the chemical name of CH3?
C means Carbon and H means Hydrogen so it is possibly Hydrocarbon.
It is actually carbogen according to wikipedia
What happens when you mix sodium hydroxide and ferric chloride?
water and salt........or sodium acetate and water.....or NaCH3COO + H2O
Can macromolecules be broken down by hydrolysis?
Yes, macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats can be broken down by hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that uses water to break down complex molecules into smaller components. For example, proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
How do living things called Cells pass on genetic information?
This Cellular process is known as Replication.
All the genetic material in a Cell?
All the genetic material in a cell is contained within the nucleus and organelles like the mitochondria and chloroplasts. This material is made up of DNA, which carries the instructions needed for the cell to function and reproduce. The genetic material is organized into structures called chromosomes.
