WELCOME to the 201st Issue of EduHound Weekly! EduHound Weekly Archives at: http://www.eduhound.com/eduhoundweeklyarchives.cfm From the Desk of Judi! This week's topic is: BIOCHEMISTRY Biochemistry is the chemistry of the living world. Plants, animals, single-celled organisms -- they all use the same basic chemical compounds to live their lives. Biochemistry is not about the cells or the organisms, it's about the smallest parts of those organisms, the molecules. It's also about the cycles that happen to make those compounds. Some sites to help in this effort: The Biology Project Home: Biochemistry Features basic chemistry, metabolism, enzymes, energy, & catalysis, large molecules, photosynthesis, pH & pKa, clinical correlates of pH, vitamins B12 and Folate and regulation of carbohydrate metabolism. http://www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/biochemistry.html Chem4Kids.com: BioChemistry Biochemistry is one of the cross-over fields of chemistry. Biochemists have to understand both the living world and the chemical world to be the best at their jobs. http://www.chem4kids.com/files/bio_intro.html The Atoms Family Contains educational activities about energy concepts, the power of the sun, energy conservation, energy transformation, electricity and fossil fuels being presented by famous gothic horror characters.
