TS Inter 1st Year Botany Notes 10th Lesson Biomolecules
→ Even though there is a wide diversity in living organisms, all living organisms are made up of the same chemicals.
→ The elemental composition of living and non-living matter appears similar when analysed qualitatively.
→ Analysis reveals that the relative abundance of carbon and hydrogen with respect to other elements is higher in any living organism than in earth crust.
→ The most abundant chemical in living organism is water.
→All the carbon compounds that we get from living tissues can be called “biomolecules”.
→ He There are thousands of carbon compounds that we get from living tissues. They are called biomolecules.
→ Proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharide’s are three types of macro molecules found in living systems.
→ Lipids are small molecular weight compounds and are present not only as such but also arranged into structures like cell membrane and other membrane.
→ Proteins are polypeptide and polymer of amino acids.
→ He Polysaccharides are long chains of sugar containing different monosaccharides as building blocks.
→ Nucleic acids are made of nucleotides.
→ Nucleotide has three components-heterocyclic compounds, monosaccharides and phosphoric acid.
→ He Biomolecules have hierarchy of structures-primary, secondary, teritiary and quaternary.
→ He All the chemical reactions that occur is called metabolism. The metabolic flow is called the dynamic state of body constituents.
→ The most important form of energy currency in living systems is the bo, .d energy in a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
→ He Living process is a constant effort to prevent falling into equilibrium.
