Biochemical calculations
1. Today in Chemistry
You will need:
1) Biochemical Calculations– 1 page 2
sides
2) Log #4 – Update w/ points
2. Reminders
1) Test #3 Retakes/Takes – Ends
Wednesday
2) Progress Notice to be passed out Wed
– Please check grades for accuracy
3. There are over 90 elements known in the
universe. Yet, only a handful of elements
make up most of any organism. The most
common elements that make up living
things are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen,
oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. These six
elements make up more than 96% of your
body mass.
4. You will be creating 3 graphs using the
information from this document.
Graph #1
You will need to access the metric converter
on Learning Point to change your mass in
pounds to kilograms.
Using your mass in kilograms you will
determine the percentage of elements in
your body and create a double line graph.
5. Graph #2
Create a bar or column graph that
represents the percent of water in each of
the different body parts.
Graph #3
Create a pie graph that represents the
percentage of mass of elements on Earth.
