HISTORY 1M03 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Nucleoplasm, Phosphodiester Bond, Coeliac Disease
Document Summary
Learning outcomes: define biochemistry, recognize the different elements that make up macromolecules, list the different types of macromolecules, from nucleic acids to proteins and carbohydrates, assess cellular characteristics. Over-arching definition: the study of living organisms by understanding how organisms arise from complex interactions of different biomolecules. Biomedical sciences context definition: a set of tools, or technical skills, that lend themselves to many diverse scientific fields, most of which are related to the study of biomedical research (ie. diseases, biomarkers, biotechnology) But it does not stop there as it sits at the precipice of biology and chemistry, making biochemistry an invaluable tool in agriculture and environmental science. The primordial universe (universe billions of yrs ago) was dominated by h and. He chemical elements which is not enough to create any life. The heavier compounds such as c (most important), h (2nd most important), n, o (2nd important), p and s were created in the second generation.
