Document Summary

Chemistry (lecture 1 part of lecture 3): This course will provide you with an overview of cell and molecular biology and will demonstrate the biochemical unity across all organisms. Necessarily, that means a lot of chemistry, and i will point out along the way some differences in emphasis between chemists and biologists. There are many different elements on earth, such as iron, carbon, oxygen; all elements are made up of atoms. The two most common elements in biology are hydrogen and carbon. Atoms are made up of the nucleus at the center and surrounding electrons. The nucleus has positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. Note that there is always the same number of protons and electrons in an individual atom of an element, so the charges are balanced. For example: 6 protons plus 6 electrons for carbon. Also note that electrons are arranged in shells around the nucleus, h has one shell, carbon has two shells.
