Rader's Chemistry 4 Kids by Chem4Kids.com

CHEM4KIDS - Chemistry Research destination

Chemistry Tutorial

Review the basics of chemistry you'll need to know to study biology.

Large Molecules

Learn about structures and properties of sugars, lipids, amino acids, and nucleotides, as well as macromolecules including proteins, nucleic acids and polysaccharides.

Acids & Bases

Learn about the solvent properties of water, pH, pKa and buffering capacity.

Clinical Correlates of pH Levels

Learn how metabolic acidosis or alkalosis can arise and how these conditions shift the bicarbonate equilibrium. The body's compensatory mechanisms and treatment options are also discussed.

B12/Folate

Learn which biological reactions require either B12 or folate (or both); what the consequences of a deficiency in either vitamin are, and the important step in which B12 and folate metabolism overlap.

Energy, Enzymes, and Catalysis

Familiarize yourself with some key principles about enzymes, catalysis, and energy that are central to a subsequent study of metabolic pathways.

Metabolism

Develop a basic understanding of some of the fundamental concepts of metabolism.

Carbohydrate Metabolism Regulation

Learn about the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by insulin, glucagon and epinephrine, mainly in liver and muscle.

Photosynthesis 1

Study the conversion of light energy into different forms of chemical energy during photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis 2

Review the location and overall reactions of carbohydrate biosynthesis during photosynthesis, and understand the metabolic differences between C3 and C4 plants.

An Introduction to Surface Chemistry

Structure of Metallic Surfaces,  Adsorption of Molecules on Surfaces, The Langmuir Isotherm, UHV & Effects of Gas Pressure, Surface Analytical Techniques, Overlayer Structures & Surface Diffraction, Surface Imaging & Depth Profiling

An Overview of Chemistry

Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the properties, structure, and composition of substances and their reactions with one another. There are two main divisions, organic and inorganic.
