Biology simplified

  Intro to Chemistry  Why chem? - Lot of chemical reactions take place in metabolism and biology that are understood by the laws of chemistry Foundation: Matter --> Anything that has weight and takes up space Ex: Chair, TV, Bottle of water Atom --> Small particle present in everything that has matter; contains smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons Imp: # of protons = # of electrons ( MOST OF THE TIME) Element -->  Inseparable substance that is made up of atoms that have the same number of protons Ex: Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen Protons --> Particle found in the nucleus (center) of an atom; has a positive charge Neutron --> Particle found with protons; has no charge Electron --> Particle found in orbitals around the center; has negative charge; the more further an electron is from the center, the more energy it will possess 1. Similar atoms bond together to form a molecule and two or more molecules form an element  Ex: Hydrogen ato...

     WHY? As you scroll through my blogs, you might be wondering why have I chosen to make blogs about biology and science topics. The answer to this question remains simple: My Freshman Year. During my freshmen year, my teacher would provide notes from her smart board that were often wordy and complex. Trying to get a good grade on my upcoming science tests, I would need to search every little detail of the chapter and research everything on my own. I soon realized that many students would be in the same position as I was, and would too endeavor to find study material outside the class, which in my experience was a tedious and challenging process.   To solve this problem, I started Biology Simplified . Biology Simplified is a blog which offers access to my year long effort of simplified notes that are in accordance with the standard biology curriculum across the country. These notes are designed to provide incoming students with an easy and fast solut...
