2.1 Molecules to metabolism

A. Molecular biology (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 62)

Molecular biology explains living processes in terms of the chemical substances involved.

B. Synthesis of urea (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 62)

Urea as an example of a compound that is produced by living organisms but can also be artifcially
synthesized.

C. Urea and the falsifcation of vitalism (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 63)
Falsifcation of theories: the artifcial synthesis of urea helped to falsify vitalism.

D. Carbon compounds (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 64)

Carbon atoms can form four bonds allowing a diversity of compounds to exist.

E. Classifying carbon compounds (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 64)

Life is based on carbon compounds including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.

F. Drawing molecules (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 65)

Drawing molecular diagrams of glucose, ribose, a saturated fatty acid and a generalized amino acid.

G. Identifying molecules (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 66)

Identifcation of biochemicals as carbohydrate, lipid or protein from molecular diagrams.

H. Metabolism (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 67)

Metabolism is the web of all the enzyme catalyzed reactions in a cell or organism.

I. Anabolism (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 67)

Anabolism is the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler molecules including the formation of
macromolecules from monomers by condensation reactions.

J. Catabolism (See: Biology Oxford – pages: 67)

Catabolism is the breakdown of complex molecules into simpler molecules including the hydrolysis of
macromolecules into monomers.
