BIO 3 b, cOBJECTIVE:
• TSW investigate and understand the chemical and biochemical principles essential for life.
Key concepts include-
• b) the structure and function of macromolecules
• c) the nature of enzymes.

2 Metabolic Processes
• Anabolism- the building up of complex molecules
•Catabolism- the breaking down of complex molecules

• Inside every cell is a concentrated mixture of thousands of different macromolecules forming a variety of specialized structures that carry out cell functions, such as:
– energy production– transport– waste disposal– synthesis (creation) of new molecules– storage of genetic material.
