Chemistry Safety and Atomic Structure: Assess the possibility of life on other planets

Learning Objectives • Understand the types of macromolecules found in food • Understand the structure of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids • Detect macromolecules in food samples Introduction Macromolecules are very large molecules created by the polymerization of small units called monomers. Most of the macromolecules are present in everyday life, for instance in food.

Learning Objectives • Explain the translation process from mRNA to amino acid • Explain post-translational modification of proteins • Explain protein synthesis processing in the ribosome • Explain the primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures of protein • Explain the basic principles of mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF) Introduction In the Protein Synthesis lab, you will learn about the difference between protein synthesis in prokaryote (using E. coli) and eukaryote (us...

Learning Objectives • Explain the concept of an atom • Explain the properties of the basic subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons • Define the atomic number and atomic mass • Define isotopes • Identify the basics of the quantum atomic model and describe the significance of the four quantum numbers

Learning objectives • Explain the molecular structure of sugars and polysaccharides • Explain digestion and appreciate the complexity of the human body • Experiment with different foods and measure their impact on the blood sugar level Introduction Most people are familiar with carbohydrates, especially when it comes to what we eat. For example, to lose weight, some individuals adhere to “low-carb” diets. Athletes, in contrast, often “carbohydrate-load” before important compet...

Learning Objectives: • Explain the relationship between mass, molecular weight, and numbers of atoms or molecules and perform calculations deriving these quantities from one another • Perform mass-to-mass stoichiometric calculations via conversions to moles • Identify the limiting and excess reagents in a chemical reaction • Calculate the theoretical, actual and percent reaction yield • Define Avogadro’s number and describe the mole quantification of matter

Learning Objectives • Describe the formation of ionic and covalent bonds • Identify anions and cations • Apply the octet rule • Describe ionic lattice structure • Draw Lewis dot structures • Explain the formation of single, double, and triple bonds • Distinguish between ionic compounds and covalent compounds Introduction Have you ever wondered how atoms are held together?
