UNIT 1: CELLS, WATER, AND BUFFERS BIOCHEMISTRY  The branch of science concerned with the chemical and physiochemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms The four main classes of molecules are: - Carbohydrates (and their building blocks, sugars) - Lipids (and their building blocks, fatty acids) - Proteins (and their building blocks, amino acids) - Nucleic acids (and their building blocks, nucleotides, and ribonucleotides) Six elements make up about 99% of t...

UNIT 16 Genetic Technologies and Applications Until the mid-1970s, genetic research concentrated on the proteins produced by genes rather than on DNA and the genes themselves, because it was simpler to analyze and manipulate proteins than DNA or genes. However, technological innovations have spawned an era of biotechnology in which the focus has shifted to DNA. The following innovations have made it easier to manipulate, sequence, and analyze nucleic acids: the discovery and use of restrict...
