About Biochemistry on DigiTransact Mastermind
Biomolecules, enzymes and metabolism, and molecular biology with applications in Ghana for university students.
Each of the 8 Biochemistry skills carries its own SmartScore from 0 to 100, so progress is measured per topic rather than as one overall grade.
All 52 Biochemistry questions come with the written reasoning behind the answer, so a wrong attempt still teaches the method.
Biochemistry work is filed under University, so you only see sets that match the stage you are studying.

Learning outcomes
After working through the Biochemistry practice sets you should be able to:
- The Major Biomolecules: Carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids.
- Enzymes: Biological catalysts and how they work.
- DNA, Genes & Proteins: How genetic information is stored and used.
- Biological Molecules: Understand the main classes of molecules that make up living organisms.
Sample questions
Real questions taken from the Biochemistry question bank, shown with the working learners see after answering.
The building blocks (monomers) of proteins are:
- Glucose units
- Amino acids
- Fatty acids
- Nucleotides
Working: Proteins are polymers of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
DNA stores genetic information in its sequence of
- bases
- metals
- fats
- sugars only
Working: The order of bases codes genetic instructions.
The four main classes of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and
- proteins
- metals
- gases
- salts only
Working: These four classes build and run living cells.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this Biochemistry practice for?
Right now Biochemistry spans University. Use the level filter on this page to hide everything outside the stage you are revising for.
What topics are included in Biochemistry?
There are 4 topic groups in Biochemistry, including Biomolecules, Enzymes & Metabolism, Molecular Biology & Applications and Biomolecules & Metabolism. Working through a single group at a time is usually faster than jumping around.
What is in the Biochemistry question bank?
52 Biochemistry questions sit across 8 skills. A written explanation follows every answer, so a wrong attempt still shows you the method.
Is Biochemistry practice useful for tertiary coursework?
Because Biochemistry is organised by level, the sets covering tertiary coursework are easy to isolate, and they are labelled Tertiary foundation coursework.
Do I need an account to practise Biochemistry?
Reading is open to everyone. Signing up for free adds the parts that need to be stored: your SmartScore, your completed Biochemistry skills and your place in a set.
