1. Chemistry of Life and Cells
Ch. 2 and 7

2. Macromolecules Lipids Carbohydrates
Function: store energy, part of biological membranes and waterproof coverings
Structure: Glycerol—Fatty acid
Carbohydrates
Function: energy and structural proposes
Structure: monosaccharides—polysaccahrides

3. Nucleic Acids
Function: store and transmit hereditary information
Protein
Function: control rate of reactions and regulate cell processes, impt. In cell structure, fight disease, transportation
Structure: amino acid---protein

4. Enzymes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTUm-75-PL4
Lower activation energy
Effected by pH and temperature

5. Water’s Special Properties
Cohesion vs. adhesion
Moderate temperature
Expansion upon freezing
Universal solvent

6. Cell Theory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgHN145_dj0
Robert Hooke: looked at cork under a microscope, saw chambers, called them “cells”
Anton van Leeuwenhoek: looked at pond water under a single-lens microscope

7. Matthias Schleiden: all plants are made of cells
Theodor Schwann: all animal are made of cells
Rudolf Virchow: cells come from pre-existing cells

8. Cell theory: All living things are made of cells
Cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
New cells are produced from existing cells
