    Study Notes

    Organisms and Chemistry

    • An organism is a living being that consists of one or more cells.
    • The fundamental unit of an organism is the cell.

    Characteristics of Living Organisms

    • Living organisms are distinguished from non-living things by their ability to grow, respond to stimuli, reproduce, and maintain homeostasis.

    Chemistry and Its Scope

    • Chemistry is the scientific study of the composition, properties, and reactions of matter.
    • In the field of botany, chemistry explains the chemical processes that occur within plants, such as photosynthesis and metabolism.

    Position of Chemistry within Natural Sciences

    • Chemistry occupies a central position within the natural sciences, as it provides a fundamental understanding of the composition and properties of matter that underlies all living and non-living systems.

    Study of Chemical Compounds

    • Chemistry studies the structure, properties, and reactions of chemical compounds, including their composition, decomposition, and synthesis.

    Importance of Chemistry

    • Chemistry is sometimes called the central science because it provides a foundation for understanding many other scientific disciplines, including biology, physics, and geology.
