Unit 2 Reflection

After studying the many sections of Chapter 2, I had found out about many things. This chapter was a small review on what would be coming up later in the future. Such things would be on atoms, elements and others, which are reviewed on this chapter. In section 2.1, we began learning about the atoms in our body, how they function, and what they look like. Through Section 2.2, we learned how water's many uses by being polar and having many hydrogen bonds are used in mixtures and suspensions. On Section 2.3, we found out how the element Carbon was used in both our body and in other beings, and its many functions that are build the human body. Finally, in Section 2.4, we found out about the process of Chemical reactions, how enzymes help the process, and the many parts that begin and end the reaction. In the many vodcasts, we had watched and learned from, many of them were more detailed on the 4 sections of chapter 2 in the textbook. The first vodcast introduced the same things as section 2.1 in the textbook. It included an explanation about the nature of matter, water's many properties, and the pH scale, which include acids and bases. The next few were based on the things that the element Carbon was used for, Macromolecules, which include Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids. They listed the structure of the macromolecules, its functions, and its relationship with other macromolecules.  The last vodcast was about the enzymes that sped up chemical reactions. Its mentioned its many structures, and its effects that causes chemical reactions to speed up. This is a quick reflection that I made, and I hope this could be useful for others that read this.
