2.1 Molecules to Metabolism

Nature of Science
1. Falsification of theories
  1. Artificial synthesis of urea helped to falsify vitalism
Metabolism is the web of all the enzyme-catalysed reactions in a cell or organism
1. Catabolism
  1. Breakdown by hydrolysis of macromolecules into monomers
2. Anabolism
  1. Synthesis of macromolecules from monomers by condensation
Carbon atoms can form four covalent bonds allowing a diversity of stable compounds to exist
