Stuff:

 * ==== contents of chapters 2 to 8 inclusive focus on: ====
 * ==== CH2: elements of life: bonding rules, types of bonds [covalent, ionic, hydrogen], chemical reactions are the breaking and making of bonds [the energy consumed and relseased summed dictates endergonic [endothermic] and exergonic [exerthermic]]. ====
 * ==== CH3: water: polarity, properties as a result of hydrogen bonding, acidity and alkalinity, pH scale ====
 * ==== CH4: carbon: bonding rules, functional groups ====
 * ===== CH5: molecules of life: =====
 * carbos
 * nucleic acids
 * proteins
 * lipids
 * polymers, monomers, examples of role, functions of, types
 * reactions that form and decompose
 * ===== CH6: cells: =====
 * all cells consist of..., organelles structure and functions, lipid bilayer and compartmentalization, animal vs plant,
 * ===== CH7: membranes: =====
 * lipid bilayer and compartmentalization, permeability, transport mechanisms,
 * ==== CH8: energy and metabolism:Extra: role of sodium potassium pump as example of osmotic regulation in animal cells. How do bacteria prevent plsmolysis? how do plant cells prevent plasmolysis? ====
 * 1st law thermo, 2nd law of thermo, free energy, role of gradients in energy storage and production, reaction coupling, endergonic and exergonic reactions, activation energy, role of enzymes and factors effecting them, structure and function of enzymes, induced fit vs lock-and-key models,
