The Chemistry of Life
Broad Concept: Living things are made of atoms bonded together to form organic molecules.
| 1.1 | Explain the significance of carbon in organic molecules. |
| 1.2 | Recognize the six most common elements in organic molecules (C, H, N, O, P, S). |
| 1.3 | Describe the composition and functions of the four major categories of organic molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids).* |
| 1.4 | Describe how dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis relate to organic molecules. |
| 1.5 | Explain the role of enzymes in biochemical reactions. |
