~History of Biochemistry~
The history of biochemistry can be said to have started with the ancient Greeks who were interested in the composition and processes of life, although biochemistry as a specific scientific discipline has its beginning around the early 19th century. Some argued that the beginning of biochemistry may have been the discovery of the first enzyme, diastase (today called amylase), in 1833 by Anselme Payen,… Continue reading ~History of Biochemistry~
Task 9: Self-reflection on Lipid
Learning unit 13 is talking about the fatty acids and lipids. Lipids are biomolecules which soluble in organic solvents. It contains hydrocarbon side chain, which serve as energy store. When it performs in the bilayer form, it is essential component of biological membranes. It also plays role as intra and intercellular signaling molecules. There are… Continue reading Task 9: Self-reflection on Lipid
Task 8: Self-Reflection on Carbohydrates
From this learning unit, I learnt that carbohydrates are the most abundant biological molecules in the body. Its empirical formula is Cn(H2O)n, which also known as hydrates of carbon. The main functions of carbohydrates are used to store energy in the form of starch and glycogen, acts as structural components such as cellulose and chitin.… Continue reading Task 8: Self-Reflection on Carbohydrates
Task 2: Interaction between salt with water molecules
Here is our group video to explain interactions between H2O molecules and salt (NaCl) when it dissolved in the water. Please wear your earphone and enjoy our video with your best mooooooood... https://youtu.be/vql34F5QrCw https://youtu.be/vql34F5QrCw Before I did this task, I only know that salt can dissolve in water without knowing any theory behind it. After… Continue reading Task 2: Interaction between salt with water molecules
Task 6: Mind-maps of vitamins
According to U.S. National Library of Medicine, vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development. There are 13 essential vitamins. This means that these vitamins are required for the body to work properly. Vitamins are grouped into two categories: a) Water soluble vitamins They are not stored… Continue reading Task 6: Mind-maps of vitamins
