sciencemusicvideos・2 minutes read
AP Bio unit 1 covers the chemistry of water and biomolecule families like carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, emphasizing key concepts like hydrogen bonding and functional groups. Understandings include the Elements of Life, pH levels, monomers and polymers, and the structure and functions of biomolecules like hemoglobin and nucleic acids.
Insights
- Hydrogen bonds in water lead to cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension, impacting properties like heat of vaporization, specific heat, and surface tension, crucial in biological processes including DNA structure.
- The Elements of Life, such as carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, and sulfur, are essential components in biomolecules like ATP and DNA, while enzymes facilitate processes like dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis in building biomolecules.
