Physci 400 week 1 lect 1 part 2. 2. 1 describe an atom and how atomic structure affects interactions between atoms. 2. 2 compare the ways in which atoms combine to form molecules and compounds. 2. 3 distinguish among the three major types of chemical reactions that are important for studying physiology. 2. 4 describe the crucial role of enzymes in metabolism. 2. 6 explain how the chemical properties of water make life possible. 2. 7 describe the ph scale and the role of buffers in body fluids. 2. 8 describe the functional roles of acids, bases, and salts. 2. 9 discuss the structures and functions of carbohydrates. 2. 10 discuss the structures and functions of lipids. It"s a chemical life: the atom is the primary building block of matter, the elements, atoms combine to form molecules, all life depend on how chemical elements (atoms) intereact with each other to form molecules.
