Crowe, Jonathan.
Chemistry for the biosciences : the essential concepts. - 2nd ed. / Jonathan Crowe, Tony Bradshaw. - Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2010. - xxv, 678 p. : ill. ; 27 cm.
Previous ed.: 2006.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1.Introduction: why biologists need chemistry -- 2.Atoms: the foundation of life -- 3.Compounds and chemical bonding: bringing atoms together -- 4.Molecular interactions: holding it all together -- 5.Organic compounds 1: the framework of life -- 6.Organic compounds 2: adding function to the framework of life -- 7.Biological macromolecules: providing life\'s infrastructrure -- 8.Molecular shape and structure 2: the shape of large molecules -- 10.Isomerism: generating chemical variety -- 11.Chemical analysis 1: how do we know what is there? -- 12.Chemical analysis 2: now do whe know how much thereis? -- 13.Energy: what makes reactions go? -- 14.Kinetics: what affects the speed of a reaction? -- 15.Equilibria: how far do reactions go? -- 16.Acids, bases, and the aqueous environment: the medium of life -- 17.Chemical reactions 1: bringing molecules to life -- 18.Chemical reactions 2: reaction mechanisms driving the chemistry of life.
Leading students through the essential concepts that are central to understanding biological systems, this text uses everyday examples and analogies to build their confidence in an often daunting subject. By focusing on the key themes that unify the subject, it shows how integral chemistry is to the biosciences.
