Although I took biology class back in high school, I never truly paid attention or really understood the material. Taking this course helped me learn more about the scientific method, atoms the chemical bonds, the importance of water, and the macromolecules. An observation is always the first step to the scientific method. Collecting data helps understand the full detail of the experiment. A hypothesis would then need to be formed. It’s the question to be studied through experiments. Experiments

SYNTHESIS PVC macromolecules i.e. long chains are made by joining vinyl chloride through the process of polymerization. The monomers are in a solid, chemically stable form and therefore do not pose a threat to humans as compared to other monomers which exists in gaseous state. Vinyl chloride is a gas at room temperature and pressure but it is usually stored as a liquid by applying pressure. Making the Monomer: Initially the Vinyl Chloride was produced by reacting acetylene with hydrochloric acid

everything came from a such a simple compound in an enormous amount. In essence, the ocean gave birth to us through millions of years of evolution. Because of the chemical properties of water and our primitive atmosphere, macromolecules were allowed to form. As the macromolecules formed and combined within the ocean, the creation of the planet we now know today began.

journal of MEMBRANE SCIENCE The journal provides a focal point for ‘‘membranologists’’ and a vehicle for the publication of significant contributions that advance the science and technology of membrane processes and phenomena.The primary emphasis is on the structure and function of non-biological membranes, but papers bridging the gap between non-biological and biological membranes are sought. A broad spectrum of papers is encouraged: • theory of membrane transport • experimental data on membrane

study of Macromolecules in the body is significantly examined through Anatomy and physiology understanding the body at its most primary, fundamental level. Roles carried out by macromolecules are crucial to life contributing to functions throughout the entire body and by understanding these structures and methods, effective medicines to treat conditions can be developed successfully whilst the rest of the body can be grasped. In particular, I have decided to research Protein macromolecules. Proteins

that make up each of these macromolecules while also learning some of their important structural characteristics. This experiment will consist of two parts. The first of which will divide the yeast cells into three of its major macromolecular components: nucleic acids, proteins and polysaccharides. These components are large macromolecules that are quite unique in their composition, structure and function. However, they share a common feature as each macromolecule is composed of repeating subunits

lactase gene. A small change in a DNA nucleotide sequence can have a major effect on the production of a protein and the well-being of an organism. 3. Define macromolecules and list the three categories of macromolecules discussed in this chapter. Macromolecules are any very large complex molecule Three categories of macromolecules: 1) Carbohydrates 2) Proteins 3) Nucleric acids 4. Compare a dehydration reaction to hydrolysis. Dehydration reaction is a chemical reaction
