300 What is the composition and arrangement of atomic components?
300 In what ways can atoms be modified to change their chemical properties?
300 What are the different chemical associations among atoms and molecules and their properties?
300 How does the bonding of atoms relate to the resultant properties of the molecules?
300 What is meant by pH and how does it affect the life process?
300 What are the major catagories of organic molecules and their role in living systems?
300 In what way do enzymes facilitate chemical reactions and how does their structure relate to this function?

400 1.  Matter and its forms
400 2.  Composition and organization of the atom
400 3.  Chemical reactions and the role of enzymes 
400 4.  Covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonds -- the conditions and resulting bond strength for each
400 5.  pH: the pH scale, accuracy of pH measurement techniques (indicators vs. litmus paper vs. probes), buffers, and its impact on molecular design
400 6. Organic molecules: carbohydrates (monosaccarides, disaccardies, polysaccarides), lipids (phospholipids, triglycerides, cholesterol), proteins (structural vs. enzymatic), and nucleic acids (DNA vs. RNA)
