Biochemistry: The Chemistry of Living Things


Through the use of colorful molecular models, animations, photographs, and narratives, Biochemistry: the Chemistry of Living Things, teaches students the basics of biochemistry. The program covers atoms, elements, molecules, chemical bonds, chemical formulas, and essential inorganic and organic compounds (i.e. water, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids).

Using the latest CD-ROM technology, students may instanly access an online glossary of terms at any stage in the program. Also, there is a series of interactive tutorial excercises that challenge students and reinforce concepts introduced in the presentation. These are just a few of the features that make this lesson in biochemistry entertaining and easy to understand.

Topics include: Atoms, Elements and Molecules; Atomic Structure; Electron Energy Levels; Compounds; Chemical Bonds; Valence Electrons; Single, Double, and Triple Covalent Bonds; Polar Covalent Bond; Polar Covalent Bond vs. Non-Polar Covalent Bond; Ionic Bond; Hydrogen Bond; Chemical Formulas; Structural Formulas; Essential Inorganic Compounds; Essential Organic Compounds (carbohydrates, lipids, protein, nucleic acids).
