Module 2: Biochemistry

Water and organic molecules are two of the most important ingredients of life. In this module, you learned that water has unique properties that are important to life on Earth, and that organisms cannot survive without water. In addition, you examined the element carbon, which all living organisms contain. Organic molecules are the building blocks of life. Finally, you investigated the components of chemical reactions, as well as the effect of enzymes in chemical reactions and the effects of pH in organisms.
