Study Notes
Biomolecules and Protoplasm
- Biomolecules are the building blocks of life, consisting of organic compounds that are found in living organisms.
- Protoplasm, the living substance of cells, is composed of biomolecules, including water, salts, sugars, amino acids, and nucleotides.
Organic Compounds
- Organic compounds are carbon-based compounds that contain hydrogen and may contain other elements such as oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.
- They are typically found in living organisms and are the basis of biomolecules.
Bioelements
- Bioelements are the elements that are essential for life and are found in living organisms.
- There are 25 bioelements, which are divided into two categories: macronutrients (required in large amounts) and micronutrients (required in small amounts).
- Examples of bioelements include carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
