SCIENCE

• THE BIG BANG THEORY - was a phenomenally energetic explosion that initiated the expansion of the universe.
• The age of the universe is calculated at 13.8 billion years (based on multiple methods of age dating based on empirical data.)
• The Big Bang was first proposed by a Belgian cosmologist and priest named George LeMaitre based on theoretical calculations and astronomical measurements of distant galaxies that demonstrated that the universe is expanding.
• ISOTOPES - are atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
• STARS - are described to have an "onion skin structure" as they evolved and produced new elements
• BIOMOLECULES - Organic compounds made by living thing
• CARBOHYDRATES - the simplest biomolecules
• 4 categories of Biomolecules

  -CARBOHYDRATES

  -LIPIDS

  -PROTEINS

  -NUCLEIC ACID
• 3 elements of Carbohydrates

  -CARBON

  -HYDROGEN

  -OXYGEN
• SUGAR - Break down quickly in the body
• GLUCOSE - is the most important & simplest sugar on Earth.
• STARCH - Also called polysaccharides or polymers. Slower to break down in the body & provide energy for a longer period of time than regular sugars.
• LIPIDS - contains fat and oil
• SATURATED FATS - "bad" fats
• UNSATURATED FATS - "good" fats
• CHOLESTEROL - It is also needed to make hormones like adrenaline
• PROTEIN - made of smaller molecules called amino acids
• There are at least 100,000 proteins in your body
• Hair is made of a Hemoglobin carries

  structural protein oxygen in blood. The

  called KERATIN
• ENZYMES - catalysts speed up the rate of a reaction
• There are 20 amino acids required for human life to exist
• VITAMINS - Most of the chemicals needed for life can by made by your own body, like proteins.
• ASCORBIC ACID - or vitamin C, is needed for several important processes in your brain & nervous system.
• SCURVY - results from a lack of vitamin C in your diet
• NUCLEIC ACID - Largest & most complex biomolecule
• PROTEIN SYNTHESIS - The process of making proteins from amino acids
• DNA - Twisted ladder or double helix
• 4 Nitrogen Bases

  -ADENINE

  -THYMINE

  -CYTOSINE

  -GUANINE
• Types Of Carbohydrates

  -SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES

  -COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES
• IRON ASH - first layer of Fusion Shells
• BIG BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS - The processes through which these light elements formed generally
• Proponents COSMIC ELEMENTAL ABUNDANCES OF HYDROGEN AND HELIUM AND BIG BANG NUCLEOSYNTHESIS
