Chapter 2: Basic Chemistry

Updated November 17, 2006

Human Anatomy and Physiology Chapter 2: Basic Chemistry

 

Objective Checklist 

Concepts of Matter and Energy

Concepts of Matter and Energy

* Differentiate clearly between matter and energy.

* List the major energy forms and provide one example of how each energy form is used in the body.

 

Composition of Matter

* Define chemical element and list the four elements that form the bulk of body matter.

* Explain how elements and atoms are related.

* List the subatomic particles and describe their relative masses, charges, and positions in the atom.

* Define radioisotope and describe briefly how radioisotopes are used in the diagnosis and treatment of disease.

 

Molecules and Compounds

* Recognize that chemical reactions involve the interaction of electrons to make and break chemical bonds.

* Define molecule and explain how molecules are related to compounds.

 

Chemical Bonds and Chemical Reactions

* Differentiate between ionic, polar covalent, and nonpolar covalent bonds, and describe the importance of hydrogen bonds.

* Contrast synthesis, decomposition, and exchange reactions.

 

Biochemistry: The Chemical Composition of Living Matter

* Distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds.

* Differentiate clearly between a salt, an acid, and a base.

* List several salts (or their ions) vitally important to body functioning.
