Lesson 29: Organic molecules are produced by plants and animals

Hi,

This set of powerpoint slides cover more on organic molecules in organisms.
  • the polar nature of water molecule giving rise to many uses and properties in organisms
  • high heat capacity, high latent heat of vaporisation, solubility, capillary action and transpiration pull in xylem vessels
  • magnesium ions in plants for making chlorophyll
  • nitrate ions in plants for making amino acids from glucose
  • uses of carbohydrates, mono-, di- and polysaccharides
  • uses of lipids in body and their structures
  • uses of proteins in body and their structures
The detailed chemical structures of the many types of carbohydrates, fats and proteins are not in the syllabus.
