Biochemistry Cell unit

Why Study (think Mrs. Morgan) Traits Genes give us a PROTEIN that gives us a trait Genes located in the Cell Cells 1 job  produce a protein gives trait in body Traits can be… Anatomy (actual organs, hair, cartilage, “parts”) Physiology (chemicals that control the anatomy  Proteins!) Doctors  biochemists Blood test How would cancer effect this process?

Common Proteins and their Empirical Formulas… Testosterone C 19 H 28 O 2 Serotonin C 10 H N 2 Adrenaline C 8 H 11 O 3 N Glucose: C 6 H 12 O 6 Cholesterol C 27 H 45 OH Estrogen C 18 H 24 O 2

We already learned a lot of Biochemistry… Ecological Cycles We are going to focus on the Carbon and Energy Cycle  2 cell processes/reactions Respiration Photosynthesis

Carbon and Oxygen Cycle Elements? Compounds? Molecules?

Reactions?? Take molecules, rearrange them to get something new! Bonds between certain molecules are broken, separate atoms rearrange and bond to form different molecules Sometimes energy is required, other times energy is produced Trick: Matter can never be created or destroyed!!
