And so we begin at the beginning with elements and atoms. Elements is a pure substance made
up of one kind of an atom and an atom cannot be broken down into simpler substances by
chemical means.
We are interested primarily in atoms
and how they interact with each
other, and the electrons since as we
know those are what drives atoms
to come together to form
molecules.
Reads slide.
We are made up of atoms because of their reactivity, which means they must share electrons
with other atoms.

The hydrogen or H+ and hydroxide ions in pure water are the same because every time a water
molecule disassociates you make on H+ and one OH-. So the amount will alway she 10^-14
molar.
Sometimes you can
dissolve things in
water that change the
amount of hydrogen ions
or hydroxide ions so that
they are no longer equal
towards one another
making the solution either
acidic or basic and
changes the solution. If
you have more H+ than
OH- you have an acidic
pH.
So again if you introduce
something into the water
that increases the amount
of H+, the solution is now
acidic. If you take a strong base like sodium hydroxide and dissolve that in water you have more
OH-, so this solution is a
base.
PH is usually neutral.

All of these macromolecules (nucleic acid, proteins lipids and carbohydrates) are all polymers
made up of polymeric subunits.
Polysaccharide are huge polymers of monosacchirides typically glucose and by huge i mean
thousands. They can be structural molecules like cellulose which make up plant cell walls very
firm very rigid able to bear weight,
bear stress. Or they can be very
digestible reactive energy storage
molecules like starch Starch is an
energy storage polysaccharides.
Animals glycogen, animals
amylose, amylopectin. The key
difference of two different kinds
of polysaccharides is weather
they're made up of alpha or beta
