La bioquímica es una ciencia que estudia la química de la vida; es decir,

pretende describir la estructura, la organización y las funciones de

la materia viva en términos moleculares.Esta ciencia es una rama de la
Química y de la Biología
Biochemistry is a science that studies the chemistry of life; that is, it aims to describe the structure,
organization and functions of living matter in molecular terms. This science is a branch of
Chemistry and Biology

La vida, desde la biología, se define a la vida como la capacidad de nacer, respirar,

desarrollarse, procrear, evolucionar y morir. Además para considerar que haya vida desde
esta óptica, es necesario que haya un intercambio de materia y energía.
Life, from biology, defines life as the ability to be born, breathe, develop, procreate, evolve and
die. Also to consider that there is life from this perspective, it is necessary that there is an
exchange of matter and energy.

Elemento químico que forma parte de los organismos vivos y es necesario e

indispensable para su desarrollo: los bioelementos fundamentales son el carbono, el
hidrógenos, el oxígeno y el nitrógeno

Chemical element that is part of living organisms and is necessary and indispensable for
its development: the fundamental bioelements are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen

La molécula es la partícula más pequeña que presenta todas las propiedades físicas y
químicas de una sustancia, y se encuentra formada por dos o más átomos.
The molecule is the smallest particle that has all the physical and chemical properties of a
substance, and is formed by two or more atoms.

Celula: Unidad anatómica fundamental de todos los organismos vivos, generalmente

microscópica, formada por citoplasma, uno o más núcleos y una membrana que la rodea
cell: Fundamental anatomical unit of all living organisms, usually microscopic, formed by cytoplasm, one or
more nuclei and a surrounding membrane

Un microscopio es un aparato o mecanismo que posibilita una mejor

visibilidad de los elementos u objetos de menor tamaño, obteniendo
una imagen aumentada de los mismos.
A microscope is an apparatus or mechanism that allows a better visibility of
the elements or objects of smaller size, obtaining an increased image of
them.

Microscopía es el conjunto de técnicas y métodos destinados a hacer

visible los objetos de estudio que por su pequeñez están fuera del rango de
resolución del ojo normal.
Microscopy is the set of techniques and methods designed to make visible
the objects of study that for their smallness are outside the resolution range
of the normal eye.
procariota: organismo que no tiene el núcleo celular diferenciado mediante
una membrana.

prokaryote: organism that does not have the cell nucleus differentiated by a
membrane.
eucariota [célula] Que tiene el núcleo diferenciado mediante una membrana
eukaryotic [cell] That has the nucleus differentiated by a membrane

Biopoiesis, un proceso por el cual se cree que los organismos vivos se

desarrollan a partir de materia no viva, y la base de una teoría sobre el
origen de la vida en la Tierra.
Biopoiesis, a process by which living organisms are thought to develop from
nonliving matter, and the basis of a theory on the origin of life on Earth.
Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins, which
are essential for our body. They are formed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen.

Proteins are molecules made up of amino acids that are linked by a type of link known as peptide
bonds. The order and disposition of the amino acids depend on the genetic code of each person.
All proteins are composed of:

Carbon
Hydrogen

Oxygen

Nitrogen

The Carboxilo Group or Carboxi Group is a Functional Group with the structure (-COOH).

This Carboxyl Group is the result of its union of a Carbonyl Group (-C = O) and a Hydroxyl Group (-
OH).

The Amino Group is a functional group derived from ammonia (NH3). The Amino Group is
classified according to the number of substituted hydrogens

The bond that is formed between 2 amino acids is called peptide bond, and occurs between the
amino group (-NH2) of one of the amino acids and the carboxyl group (-COOH) of the other, losing
a molecule of water, and forming a bond ( CO-NH).
The molecules that make up proteins are called polypeptides. These are peptides composed of at least ten
amino acids (one kind of organic type molecule). A polypeptide, in other words, is a sequence of amino acids
that are linked through peptide bonds.

A dipolar zwitterion is an electrically neutral chemical compound that has positive and negative
formal charges on different atoms.

Hemoglobin

It is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. The hemoglobin test measures the amount of
hemoglobin in your blood.
