IB Chemistry SL Option B Biochemistry B.1 Introduction to biochemistry • Introduction to the basic terms and reactions for biochemistry • Resources for Option B: • http://www.mrwengibchemistry.com • B1. Introduction to biochemistry • • The diverse functions of biological molecules depend on their structures and shapes. • • Metabolic reactions take place in highly controlled aqueous environments. • • Reactions of breakdown are called catabolism and reactions of synthesis are called anabolism. • • Biopolymers form by condensation reactions and are broken down by hydrolysis reactions. • • Photosynthesis is the synthesis of energy-rich molecules from carbon dioxide and water using light energy. • • Respiration is a complex set of metabolic processes providing energy for cells. • • Explanation of the difference between condensation and hydrolysis reactions. • • The use of summary equations of photosynthesis and respiration to explain the potential balancing of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. • (Intermediates of aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are not required.) • Connect with me on Facebook: / ibchemistry2016
