Document Summary

Chemistry of cells - class 2a learning objectives. To know the molecular structure and chemistry of water. Cohesiveness of h2o results in surface tension, high specific heat and high heat of vaporization. Solution = mixture, solute = dissolved substance, solvent = liquid. To understand the basic structure of carbon compounds. Carbon atoms can join to form skeletons such as chains, branched trees and rings.

To be familiar with the concept of ph ph is the acidity of a solution and defined by the concentration of hydronium ions (h3o+). For pure water [h+] = 10-7 mol/l therefore ph = 7. ph = -log[h3o+: acid: release hydrogen ions, base: reduce hydrogen ions. To know the structure of the building blocks of life including carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
