Study Notes
Chemistry and Its Relations
- Chemistry is related to pharmacology because it deals with the discovery, development, and synthesis of pharmaceuticals.
- Chemistry is sometimes called the central science because it connects and explains the principles underlying biology, physics, geology, and other scientific disciplines.
Scope of Chemistry
- The scope of chemistry's subject is vast, encompassing the composition, properties, and reactions of matter at the atomic and molecular levels.
Chemistry and Environmental Science
- Chemistry explains the chemical reactions and processes that occur in the environment, including the water cycle, climate change, and pollution.
Industrial Applications
- The applications of various fields of chemistry are frequently used in the pharmaceutical industry.
Biomolecules
- Primary metabolites, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, are considered biomolecules.
- The elements oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen make up 96% of the human body's mass.
- The main focus of study in biochemistry and molecular biology is the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules.
- Small amounts of elements such as phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur are also present in living organisms.
- Biomolecules produced within an organism are referred to as endogenous compounds.
