Biochemistry

386 resources created by 338 users

This Biochemistry page on GoConqr gathers community-made quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes on the chemistry of life, from elements, atoms and bonding to amino acids, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipids. It's built for school students, university students and professional candidates revising a topic or filling gaps, and for teachers after ready-made material. There are over 300 resources here, including more than 30 quizzes, more than 100 mind maps and more than 120 flashcard decks, with A-level and GCSE material alongside university study. Pick a topic, try a quiz, then make your own set.

About Biochemistry

GoConqr Original

What this unit covers

The listed resources move from the basics of chemistry to the molecules of living things. Early material looks at atoms and bonding. The mind map Elements Of Life runs through spectroscopy, electron structure, periodicity, covalent bonding, moles, Group 1 and Group 2 and salts. Further along you find proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipids.

Where to start

If you are new to the topic, begin with the quiz OCR B A Level Chemistry Elements of Life, which tests isotopes and relative mass with fill-in-the-blank questions. Then open the mind map Biochemistry or Biological Molecules for an overview.

  1. Atoms and bonding: the Atoms mind map and Elements of Life flashcards.
  2. Building blocks: the Amino Acids flashcards and mind maps, and Saccharides.
  3. Large molecules: Proteins, Lipids and the starch, glycogen and cellulose comparison charts.
  4. Enzymes: Enzyme kinetics, Basics of Enzymes and the slide set on cofactors, enzymes and prosthetic groups.

Using quizzes and maps together

Read a mind map first, then close it and take a quiz on the same topic. Quizzes such as AP Bio Chapter 3 ask how polymers are hydrolysed, and the Biomolecules: Hydrolysis and Polymerization quiz covers similar ground. Wrong answers show you which branch of the map to reread. Flashcards then help you fix key terms, such as the structure of an α-amino acid.

Practical and applied topics

Some resources look at lab and real-world use. The mind map on chromatography explains stationary and mobile phases, while Biochemical Tests and the slide set Biological Molecule Tests cover identifying biomolecules. Enzymes in the Fashion Industry shows enzymes at work in industry.

Where it fits

This unit sits in the Organic Chemistry strand of Chemistry. Some resources mention A-level Chemistry, A-level Biology and GCSE Biology, so it suits those studying across both subjects. Choose a topic, test yourself, and add your own notes or flashcards where you see a gap.

Frequently asked questions

Which quiz should I try first?

Try OCR B A Level Chemistry Elements of Life if you want a gentle start on atoms, isotopes and relative mass. If you are more interested in biological molecules, AP Bio Chapter 3 asks about polymers, hydrolysis and the bonding of amino acids.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps run from elements, atomic models and bonding to amino acids, protein structure, carbohydrates and enzymes. There are also applied ones, such as chromatography, enzyme immobilisation and enzymes in the fashion industry. Start with Biochemistry or Biological Molecules for an overview.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes.

Which levels and exams do they suit?

The resources suit school students, university students and professional candidates. Some mention A-level Chemistry, A-level Biology and GCSE Biology. Others follow university textbook chapters, such as notes on amino acids, peptides and proteins, so check the title and excerpt to find the right depth.

Who made these resources?

They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. That means styles and depth vary, from short flashcard decks to longer notes. Teachers can use them as ready-made material, and students can compare several versions of a topic such as enzymes or carbohydrates.

What if I can't find my topic?

Look at related titles first. Carbohydrates, for example, appear as mind maps, flashcards, notes, quizzes and comparison charts. If something is still missing, you can make your own flashcards, mind map or quiz and use it for revision.
