Study Notes
Lecture 1: Functional Groups and Bonds in Chemistry
- One of the learning outcomes is to understand the concept of functional groups and their importance in biochemical reactions.
Structural Components of Cells
- All cells have similar structural components, including carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Role of Water in Biochemical Interactions
- Water plays a crucial role in biochemical interactions, serving as a solvent, reactant, and coolant, and facilitating chemical reactions within cells.
pH Definition and Effects
- pH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution, with a pH of 7 being neutral, below 7 being acidic, and above 7 being basic.
- Changes in pH can affect biochemical systems, including: • Altering enzyme activity and protein function • Disrupting cell membrane structure and permeability • Impacting DNA structure and gene expression
