    This document provides an introduction to basic biomolecules including water, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. It explains that water is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Carbohydrates such as the monosaccharide glucose are described as single sugars that serve as the main energy source for most organisms. The molecular structure of glucose is shown.

    Intro to Bio Chem

    Introduction to Biochem
    We will start with basic molecules that are
    important to life.

    Water = H2O

    Elements:
    C = Carbon

    This means we have 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.

    H= Hydrogen
    O= Oxygen
    N= Nitrogen

    Therefore, we can say the ratio of hydrogen to


    oxygen is 2:1

    Using Models to understand matter

    What are Carbohydrates?


    Monosaccharides: Single sugars, main energy source for
    most organisms
    Ex. Glucose (C6H12O6)

    CH2OH
    H

    Glucose HOH

    CH2OH

    O H

    Why are these called isomers?
