Document Summary
Lecture notes from dr ryan martinus on the 8/7/13. Cells are the lowest level of biological organization that can perform all activities required for life. Membrane-bound organelles we will be learning about these levels. E. g. mitochondria, er, ribosomes, golgi bodies, lysosomes etc. We need techniques to study cells as most plant and animal cells reside in the range of 0. 1mm-0. 0001mm. A light microscope is required to see these in any detail. There are four categories of large molecules in cells: The position of functional groups is very important. The positioning of =o and oh makes the difference between one of the estrogens and testosterone. Short polymer + monomer -> longer polymer + h2o. Breaking a polymer chain hydrolysis reverses the process by breaking down the polymer with the addition of water molecules, which break the bonds between monomers. Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides: where is dna found in your body, in all cells, including cells involved in reproduction.
