All materials presented in lecture and the review material on elms are fair game on exams (be sure to study these) Read the textbook before and after lecture. Study by yourself and then in a group. Chemical components and reactions that govern: cell structure. Macromolecular assemblies and interactions that enable cells to perform tasks that support life: storage, processing, and propagation of genetic information, molecular transport, communication with the external environment. Growth and reproduction: propagation, reproduction can include passing genes onto offspring. Communication with the environment: knowing what material is lacking in the environment. Acquisition and assimilation of energy: need energy to sustain life, need energy to perform certain tasks. Cells are the fundamental/functional units of life.
