Please make sure you review the articles we read during the Biochemistry unit and please make sure you understand the results of the Identification of Organic Polymers experiment (ie. what test identifies proteins, monosaccharides, and polysaccharides).
Regarding the running article, a question that I was wondering about was how fast can the body break down the needed proteins in order to keep up with the rapid use of energy? It would seem that the body would not be able to maintain homeostasis.
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised that you need to burn about 3,000 kilocalories to lose one pound.
ReplyDeleteWhy do leaves show yellow, orange and red pigments after they stop going through the process of photosynthesis and not blues and purples?
ReplyDeleteI would just like to know what the correct/desired results of the Organic Polymers experiment actually were. The lab was very "self designed" so I just would to know what we should have gotten.
ReplyDeleteIf plants want to absorb the most amount of energy from the sun why wouldn't they reflect a color with less energy then green.
ReplyDeleteOn a molecular structure level, what is ATP and how is it produced from glucose and oxygen? What are its specific uses? At first I was under the impression that it was just used in an emergency as quick energy-is that just adrenaline?

Can RuBiSCO perform other functions besides creating carbon sugars? If so, what?
ReplyDeleteIs ATP used in photosynthesis at all? The photosynthesis and cellular respiration equations are supposed to be exact flips of each other, but cellular respiration has ATP in the products and photosynthesis doesn't have it in the reactants if I remember correctly
