Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: Chemical Composition of Living Tissues, Primary and Secondary Metabolites, Amino Acids and Proteins.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 131 questions available for this chapter.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Biomolecules after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Acid-soluble pool contains small molecules.
  • Acid-insoluble fraction contains large biomolecules and membrane fragments.
  • Water is the most abundant chemical in living organisms.
  • Primary metabolites are common in animal tissues.
  • Secondary metabolites are abundant in plants, fungi, and microbes.
  • Secondary metabolites include alkaloids, flavonoids, rubber, essential oils, antibiotics, pigments, scents, gums, and spices.
  • Amino acids contain both amino and carboxyl groups on the same alpha-carbon.
  • Amino acids are substituted methanes.
  • Only 20 amino acids occur in proteins.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Lipids are true macromolecules just like proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.

Cellulose and starch are the same because both are polysaccharides made of glucose.

The right end of a polysaccharide chain is the non-reducing end and the left end is the reducing end.

Memory Tips
