CHEMISTRY ASSIGNMENT

20 point quiz in testing center

(out of the total 420 points of the lecture section of A & P 1)
Due Sept. 26, 2008 It may be completed before that date.
Chemicals are the foundation of life. Knowledge of basic chemistry is essential in order to
understand physiology. The purpose of this assignment is to assess basic chemical knowledge.
The assignment consists of suggested readings and activities followed by a quiz taken at the
Testing Center located in the basement of the library. Many students have already taken
chemistry or are taking it with A & P, so this should be a review. All students (especially those
who never had chemistry) are welcome to visit Dr. Golz for extra help during her office hours in
Room 2233.

3. The maximum number of electrons possible in the first three energy levels.
4. What is the reason for chemical bonds? How can you predict if two atoms will bond?
How can you predict what type of bond will result? (ex: ionic or covalent)
Suggestions for study:.
Human Anatomy & Physiology by Marieb (Textbook):
Read pages 25 39. Most of the required information is here. Appendix: Periodic Table
Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic & Biological Chemistry by Timberlake
(The Chem 105 Textbook)

Text: An Introduction to Chemistry for Biology Students by George Sackheim; publisher:

Pearson Benjamin Cummings. ISBN number 0-8053-3970-1
Paperback If you took CHM 105 at RCC, this book may have been included in the Chemistry
Textbook.
If you have not had chemistry (or had it a while ago) it is strongly suggested that you use this
book and answer the questions on the pages listed below. This is a programmed learning
workbook to help students learn or review basic facts, concepts, and terminology of chemistry
that are essential to an understanding of biological phenomena. A copy of the book will be on
reserve in the library under the name of Dr. Golz. You will not be able to write in this copy, but
you should write the answers on a separate piece of paper. Price from Barnes and Noble (used)
on line is about $17.00 - $20.00, available in 1 to a few days.
This book is also an excellent supplement to many other topics in A & P I, such as biochemistry
(including DNA), osmosis, diffusion, active transport, nerve impulse, protein synthesis.
The following chapters are most important for understanding basic chemistry required to
understand physiology.
1. Inorganic Chemistry pages 3 18.
2. Chemical Symbols pages 19 23
3. Atoms and Molecules pages 25 27
4. Ionization pages 29 42
8. The Covalent bond pages 101 113
10. Functional Groups in Organic Compounds pages 125 139; 142-145
In addition, information is presented that supplements information in A&P 1 such as diffusion,
osmosis, osmotic pressure, active transport, nerve impulse, DNA replication, protein synthesis.
Science Learning Center: CD: Biochemistry of Living Things is also recommended.
Questions 1 13 on the quiz are taken from the post test on this CD.
When you are ready to take the quiz, go to the Testing Center in the Technology Center
Building on the third floor. You will need photo ID. Tell the person at the desk that you
want to take the quiz for Dr. Golz and she will give it to you. This is not an open book quiz.
When you are done, submit the quiz to the person at the desk and it will be forwarded to
me by campus mail. Call the Testing Center for the days and hours of operation. It is open
Monday through Saturday during day and evening hours.
The quiz is composed of matching and multiple choice questions.
