FIN 2 BIO 106 Chapter 2 Chemistry Fall 2022
Student Learning Outcome #1
Describe the structure of an atom, the types of bonding between atoms, and discuss the
structure and function of macromolecules.
Chapter objectives
1. Explain how protons, electrons, and neutrons are arranged into atoms and ions.
2. Describe how the distribution of electrons in an atom or ion determines the number and kinds
of chemical bonds that can be formed.
3. Differentiate between ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonding.
4. Give examples of each type of chemical bond and the relative strengths of each.
5. Discuss the unique properties of water and how these properties are important to life.
6. Define acid and base and describe the pH scale.
7. List the three groups of carbohydrates and identify examples of each.
8. Describe the difference between condensation and hydrolysis.
9. Compare and contrast saturated fats with unsaturated fats.
10. Describe the formation of triglycerides and phospholipids.
11. Identify the backbone structure of steroids.
12. Describe the general chemical structure of an amino acid and define a peptide bond.
13. List four general functions of proteins.
14. Describe the four levels of structure in proteins.
15. Define denatured.
16. List the components of a nucleotide and distinguish DNA from RNA.
17. Describe base pairing in DNA.
1. Explain how protons, electrons, and neutrons are arranged into atoms and ions.
Protons- Arranged in the nucleus
Neutrons – Also in the nucleus
Electrons – they circle around the nucleus
Ion- if it gains one or more electrons or if it loses one or more electron
