Biochem Wordle

Wordle: Biochemistry These Words that i chosen were the ones that are really important to know for the unit on biochem. All living organisms are made up of atoms because cells are formed by atoms. Anything around us is made up of atoms living or non-living because the object just has to have mass and take up space. Proteins are useful in everything organisms do. They transport other substances in the body, used as storage, signals between organisms, and also help with the movement and defense against foreign substances. Lipids are diverse hydrophobic(no affinity to water) molecules and consist mostly of hydrocarbons. One especially important family of lipids are fats. They store lots of energy in your body. Two types of fats are saturated fats and unsaturated fats. In saturated fats, The molecules are closed together,forming a solid. In unsaturated fats, molecules are not packed together. By learning about both types of fats I got to the conclusion that saturated fats can cause great harm to your body because they mostly come from animals and because saturated facts have a solid shape they are harder to digest. On the other hand, unsaturated fats are liquids at room temperature which include corn oil and peanuts. Which can actually help lower a person's cholesterol. We must know the correct information on these biochem words to make proper decisions that can affect our body because each single biochem word above is being used or is stored in our body at this very moment.
