What substances do plants need to grow? How is it possible to manipulate the characteristics of plants through biotechnology? The answers to all these questions are based on chemistry. This chapter provides an overview of the concepts needed to understand plant cell structure and function. 2.2 THE UNITS OF MATTER.
individual sciences—biology, chemistry, physics, and so forth. Biologists specialize in the study of life, but organisms and their environments are natural systems to which the concepts of chemistry and physics apply. Biology is multidisciplinary. This unit of chapters introduces some basic concepts of chemistry that apply to the study of life.
The focus of this book is on examining biochemical processes from a chemical perspective. We’ll begin with a brief review of organic chemistry, looking first at the common functional groups found in biological molecules and then at some fundamental mechanisms by which organic molecules react.

In addition, for commonly seen bonds in biology, we expect student to provide a chemical explanation, rooted in ideas like electronegativity, for how these bonds contribute to the chemistry of biological molecules.
16 wrz 2024 · Biochemistry is both a life science and a chemical science - it explores the chemistry of living organisms and the molecular basis for the changes occurring in living cells.
This chapter seeks to apply the science of organic chemistry to biological chemistry by address- ing important and relevant points without overwhelming students with chemical reactions or detailed biological pathways.
