BIOMOLECULES: Biomolecules are a small part found naturally in living organisms. Biomolecules are made up of large particles. It also includes small molecules such as primary and secondary metabolites and natural assets. Biomolecules consist mainly of carbon and hydrogen with nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus. Biomolecules are huge molecules composed of many atoms, covalently bonded together. Explanation All life forms are composed only of biomolecules. For example, humans have skin and hair. The main part of the hair is keratin, a conglomerate of proteins which are themselves polymers made up of amino acids. Characteristics of biomolecules: Organic compounds and have particular shapes and proportions. The chemical properties are determined by the functional group and mostly asymmetric. They are composed of small building blocks and have a planar structure. IMPORTANT BIOMOLECULES OF LIFE: CARBOHYDRATES: Carbohydrates defined as polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or as substances that produce compounds by hydrolysis. Many carbohydrates have the empirical formula (CH2O) n where n is 3 or larger.this is also known as carbon hydrates.CLASSIFICATION OF CARBOHYDRATES:Carbohydrates can be classified into three types based on their n. of sugarsMONOSACCHARIDES: Monosaccharides are simple sugars that cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller units. The simplest monosaccharides are glyceraldehydes and acetone. Both of these sugars are triose because they contain three carbon atoms. Dihydroxy acetone Fructose, ribulose, etc. are examples of monosaccharides....... middle of paper...... Interface between bases where strands are bonded to each other. The two strands of DNA are linked together by hydrogen bonds. Nucleotides on one strand pair with the other. The secondary structure of DNA is mainly the base pairing of the two polynucleotide strands. TERTIARY STRUCTURE: The complete chain is folded into a three-dimensional structure called a tertiary structure. Its ranges differ in four structural forms: left-handed or right-handed. helix turn level. Number of base pairs per turn. The multiplicity of dimensions between the major and minor grooves.QUATERNARY STRUCTURE:The quaternary structure is the complex level of organization of nucleic acids. This organization refers to the exchanges of nucleic acids with other molecules.
