Document preview thumbnail
Preview 2 out of 10 pages

This study guide covers Dr. Sata's unit 1 material on chemistry for biology. It includes emergent properties of living organisms, scientific method/process, and the vocabulary used to describe atoms and molecules. It lists the types of chemical bonds and interactions and their relative strengths and goes into detail about the properties of water. In addition, it differentiates acids, bases, and buffers and how each contributes to the pH and pK of solutions. It goes into detail about each organic molecule (carbs, lipids, fats, and nucleic acids), utilizing charts to make it easy to memorize the key properties of each. It also has each functional group drawn out with its polarity and other properties.
