If you are about to study for a degree in the life or medical
sciences, you will need to understand some core facts and concepts
in chemistry. You do not need to be a budding chemist but you do
need to be comfortable with chemical terms and principles.
"Catch up Chemistry," second edition, will bring you up to speed
with the subject and will lay the foundations of chemistry in those
topics that will underpin your studies, such as:
- the nature of atomic structure and molecular bonding;
- the properties of biological molecules and macromolecules;
- the gas laws;
- the special properties of water;
- thermodynamic concepts in biology;
- biological transport mechanisms and transporters;
- understanding reaction mechanisms and kinetics;
- deriving energy from molecules;
At every stage the authors remind you of the relevance of this
chemistry to your life or medical sciences course - this is not
just chemistry for the sake of it. The book also contains a lot of
questions (and answers), so that you can test your understanding at
any time - it really does get easier with practice
