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.

Explain why the events of electron transport chain constitute an aerobic process?
because in aerobic organisms uses oxygen as its terminal acceptor
What are the functional groups present in tilidine?
N-(2,2,2-Trichloroethyl)carbonyl] Bisnor-(cis)-tilidine's functional groups are:
Alkyl halide (These are the three C-Cl bonds)
Carbamate (It looks like an ester and an amide on either side of a carbonyl group. But each group modifies the properties of the other so much that the carbamate group gets its own name as a functional group)
Alkene (The C=C double bond in the cyclohexene ring.)
Ester (This is the COOEt group.)
Aromatic ring ( the phenyl group) .
What is the relationship between ethylene gas and senescence?
Ethylene act as a hormone of senescence for plants.
What is the difference between alanine and glycine amino acids?
The -r group of alanine is -CH3 - which is a non-polar group, while the -r group of glycine is -H - which is an uncharged polar r group.
Where is it possible to purchase L Glutamine supplements?
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that is popular among bodybuilders. The supplement is quite cheap and is available from several companies. One can get it from iHerb, Amazon or Myprotein.
What does a glycoprotein consists of?
A glycoprotein is composted of a sugar (glyco-) and conjugated proteins.
What was the first biomolecule synthesized outside of a living cell?
Probably urea, and done in the early 19th century.
Which organelle in the plant Cell and the animal Cell can change glucose into energy?
This Cellular organelle that contains its own Dna and the mechanisms for Dna expression and transforms glucose sugar into Atp is The Mitochondrion; plural Mitochondria.
Why does the mass of a compost bin decrease?
That the contents break down to their most basic form is the reason why the mass of a compost bin decreases. The composting process reduces compounds to elements through the interaction of carbon- and nitrogen-rich recyclable materials with air, heat, light, micro-organisms, and moisture.
What are the enzymes in siliva?
You have probably only one important enzyme, that is present in saliva. That is called as 'Ptyalin'. This enzyme brakes down the carbohydrates to sugar. This enzyme continue to act in stomach also for some time, till acid in the stomach makes the enzyme ineffective.
Is the ratio the same in glucose and fructose?
Glucose and fructose are isomers, with the same empiric chemical formula but with a different structure and properties.
What causes the constriction in the condensed chromosome?
The Dna comprised chromosomes are wound around protein Histone Cores that are then in turn wound into a ten nanometer diameter strand that is then, in turn, wound into a thirty nanometer diameter strand - hense constriction.
Yes it is a type of mucous and this made of glycoprotein. Glyco = sugars + proteins.
No, glycogen is a polimer of glucose, so it's a polisaccharide.
What is the main thing an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction?
The main thing that an enzyme does to catalyze a reaction, is to lower the energy of reaction.
What do you know about enzymes to design a lichenase enzyme for lichen eating animals?
That the enzyme must be specific for one constituent of lichen, say a carbohydrate bond, so lichen probably needs many types of enzymes to preform catabolic reactions on it's many constituent parts.
Does fat absorb Vitamin B-Complex?
Fat does not absorb Vitamin B-Complex as they are water soluble Vitamins. Fat absorb and can store enormous quantity of Fat soluble Vitamins like Vitamin A Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K.
What in term of applied to the trait that is expressed irregardless of the second allele?
The term applied to the trait that is expressed in regardless of the second allele is dominant. In contrast, the term recessive refers to a trait that is expressed when the second allele is identical.
Where can images for a DNA sequence be found?
There are three distinct sites on the web were DNA sequence images can be viewed. The first is the U.S. government site Genome. The second is DNA 11, which is a site of personal DNA images. The last site is Universe Review.
What mass of calcium bromide is needed to prepare 250 ml of a 2.50M?
The answer is 124,93 g (for the anhydrous CaBr2).
What is the cite when other substrates bind to enzymes to alter activity?
The competitive inhibitors bind in the active site while noncompetitive inhibitors bind at an allosteric site, which is located somewhere else on the enzyme other than the active site.
What does protein plus water plus hydrochloric acid equal?
It may take hydrochloric acid hours of boiling to break the pep-tide bond. It is very wonderful that enzyme Pepsin can break it, at room temperature, within hour or two.
What is the meaning of D in D-Aspartic acid?
Aspartic acid (abbreviated as Asp or D) is an α-amino acid, It is an abbreviation
It means right-handed. Carbohydrates and amino acids are designated as D- or L- according to the stereochemistry of the highest numbered carbon in the Fischer projection. If the hydroxyl group (or amino group for amino acids) is pointing to the right in the Fischer Projection, it is designated as D. If the hydroxyl group (or amino group for amino acids) is pointing to the left, the sugars amino acid) is designated as L. Most naturally occurring carbohydrates such as D-Aspartic acid
