Document Summary
Bonding, water, and carbon - the chemical basis of life. Suggested reading for unit 2: freeman chapter 2, sections 2. 1, 2. 2, 2. 5. An introduction to chemistry for biology students - george sackheim (amazon) Theory of evolution has both random and nonrandom components. Always more mutation in a given organism other than the one being selected. Mutation (genetic diversity) pre-exists (it is not induced by selection) All events happening in a cell are the result of interactions between the molecules cell are made of. These interactions occur via complementary surfaces (lock and key) Their chemistry is complementary so they come together like puzzle pieces. To understand how a molecule functions in the organism, we must first understand how it is put together. Atom/molecule/proton/etc. can all be found in the suggested chem for bio students book. Clicker question: an atom has four electrons in its valence shell. Single, double, or triple (h (single) c (triple) n)
