Biol 341 unit 6 - Lecture notes 6 Human Genetics (Athabasca University) Chapter 6: Matters of Sex 6.1 Our Sexual Selves Sexual Development - gender differences becomes apparent around 9th week of prenatal development - 5th week: all embryos develop two unspecialized gonads (either develop as testes or ovaries later) - “indifferent” gonad forms near two sets of ducts: Mullerian ducts and Wolffian ...

UNIT 2 – ENERGY LESSON 1: ENERGY REACTIONS - The primary mechanism used by non-photosynthetic organisms to obtain energy is oxidation and carbon is the most commonly oxidized energy source - The more reduced the carbon atom is, the more energy can be realized from its oxidation - The most reduced form of carbon is on the left and the energy of oxidation is shown above it - Fatty acids are more reduced than overall sugars - Biochemical processes that bre...

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...
