EXAM 1 Matching Text
Below is a list of chapters/sections in the textbook that match the lectures. The textbook includes
a lot of additional (extraneous) detail that I have cut out of lectures and exams, especially in the
first few chapters on Chemistry and Water, but also in subsequent chapters. On the other hand,
lectures include some information not covered in the textbook. Everything that will be on Exams
1 and 2 is covered in lectures. I recommend using this list as a supplement to learning concepts
that are unclear.
Textbook: BIOLOGY by Campbell and Reece et al., Eighth Edition
Introduction
Chapter 1 (Read only as you please for your own overview; not closely covered in lectures)
The Chemical Context of Life
Chapter 2:
Concept 2.2 An element’s properties depend on the structure of its atoms
 Introductory paragraph to 2.2
 Sub-section on “Subatomic Particles” (first two paragraphs)
 Sub-section on “Electron Distribution and Chemical Properties” (first two paragraphs;
you don’t need to know the terms “valence electrons”/”valence shell” for the exam)
Concept 2.3 The formation and function of molecules depend on chemical bonding…
 All except sub-sections on “Van der Waals Interactions” and “Molecular Shape and
Function”
 You do not need to know the terms “structural formula,” “molecular formula,” “valence,”
“cation,” and “anion” for the exam
Water
Chapter 3:
Overview
Concept 3.1
Concept 3.2 (All except the following, which are not covered in lecture or on the exam)

Read only as you wish for more information. Not covered closely in lecture.
The Structure and Function of Large Biological Molecules
Chapter 5:
Overview
Concept 5.1
Concept 5.2 (Carbs)
 Read all text, but you don’t need to know about the biochemical details such as the
chemical structures in figures 5.3-5.8.
 You do not need to know the term “glycosidic linkage.”
Concept 5.3 (Lipids)

“Amino acid monomers.” (pp 77-80)
 You do not need to know any info from “Amino Acid Polymers” through the end of
section 5.4 for this exam. We will be talking more about proteins later in the course.
Concept 5.5 (Nucleic Acids)
 For this exam, focus on the intro paragraph and the “The Roles of Nucleic Acids” and
“The Structure of Nucleic Acids” sections. We will cover the rest of this section in more
detail later in the course.
