Study Plan for Biomolecules
Day 1–2: Learn the Theory
Study the chapter thoroughly. Note down definitions, formulas, and key concepts.
Day 3: Practice Problems
Solve practice questions and previous year NEST problems. There are 84 questions available for this chapter.
Day 4: Revise & Test
Revise key formulas and concepts without looking at notes. Take a practice quiz to test your understanding.
What to Focus On
- Chemical analysis separates biomolecules into acid-soluble and acid-insoluble fractions
- Acid-soluble pool contains micromolecules (18-800 Da)
- Acid-insoluble pool contains macromolecules (>10,000 Da)
- Amino acids have amino and carboxyl groups on the same α-carbon
- Twenty amino acids are used for protein synthesis
- Classified based on R group properties: nonpolar, polar, charged
- Proteins are heteropolymers of amino acids linked by peptide bonds
- Four structural levels: primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary
- Primary structure is amino acid sequence
Common Mistakes to Avoid
All biomolecules are organic compounds containing carbon
Acid-soluble fraction contains only small molecules while acid-insoluble contains only large molecules
Essential amino acids are more important than non-essential amino acids for body functions
