Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Biomolecules and Carbohydrates, 2. Important Monosaccharides: Glucose and Fructose, 3. Disaccharides: Sucrose, Maltose, and Lactose.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 104 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

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

  • Biomolecules are the chemical basis of life.
  • Metabolism includes anabolism and catabolism.
  • Enzymes control many metabolic pathways.
  • Carbohydrates are classified by hydrolysis, taste, and reducing power.
  • Sugars are sweet and non-sugars are usually tasteless.
  • Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar.
  • Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolysed further.
  • Aldoses and ketoses are the two major types.
  • D and L denote configuration only.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sucrose is a reducing sugar because it is a carbohydrate and contains glucose and fructose.

Amylose is the branched part of starch and amylopectin is the linear part.

Glucose must give 2,4-DNP test and Schiff's test because it has an aldehyde group.
