COVALENT BONDS
- Covalent bonds - formed when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons to fill their valence shell
- Bonding valence electrons are attracted by both nuclei in the bond.
- Bond length depends on the nature of the atoms bonded and the number of electrons participating in the bond.
- Carbon-carbon double bonds are generally longer and have less bond energy than do carbon-carbon triple bonds.
- Atoms are held together by these
- Strength and bond length depends on:
Nature of atoms bonded
Number of e- pairs shared
- Greater number of pairs, greater bond energy, lower bond length

INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
- Non-covalent interactions
- Electrostatic interactions
- Ionic interactions
- Non-ionic interactions (electrically neutral)
- Fixed dipole-dipole
- Hydrogen bonds, electronegative
- Fixed dipole-induced dipole
- Induced dipole- induced dipole (london dispersion forces, van der Waals Forces)

There are many types of macromolecules such as: 

- carbohydrates
- lipids
- proteins
- nucleic acids

Types of Macromolecules

Is an organic molecule that  is found within living organisms they are the building blocks of life and contain chemicals that are composed of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, sulfur, nitrogen, and phosphorus.

Biomolecule

Inorganic compounds are simple, small molecules in living organisms that do not contain carbon and make up about 1% to 1.5% of a cell's dry weight. They perform key biological functions but do not form cell structures. Carbon oxides and carbonates are exceptions that contain carbon but are classified as inorganic because they do not contain hydrogen.

Inorganic Compounds

Biochemistry is the scientific discipline that studies the chemistry of life processes, with the primary objective of explaining biological form and function through chemical principles.

Microbiology covers the scope and sequence requirements for a single-semester microbiology course for non-majors. The book presents the core concepts of microbiology with a focus on applications for careers in allied health. The pedagogical features of the text make the material interesting and accessible while maintaining the career-application focus and scientific rigor inherent in the subject matter. Microbiology’s art program enhances students’ understanding of concepts through clear and effective illustrations, diagrams, and photographs.

Microbiology is produced through a collaborative publishing agreement between OpenStax and the American Society for Microbiology Press. The book aligns with the curriculum guidelines of the American Society for Microbiology.

OpenStax Microbiology Textbook

Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. The diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from person to person. 

Infectious Disease

NIH-National Cancer Institute

- "Medical laboratory science professionals... assist physicians in patient diagnosis and treatment, as well as in disease monitoring or prevention (maintenance of health). We use sophisticated biomedical instrumentation and technology, computers, and methods requiring manual dexterity to perform laboratory testing on blood and body fluids. Laboratory testing encompasses such disciplines as clinical chemistry, hematology, immunology, immunohematology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Medical laboratory science professionals generate accurate laboratory data that are needed to aid in detecting cancer, heart attacks, diabetes, infectious mononucleosis, and identification of bacteria or viruses that cause infections, as well as in detecting drugs of abuse. In addition, we monitor testing quality and consult with other members of the healthcare team."
- Other MLS specialties include blood banking/transfusion medicine, flow cytometry, urinalysis, and molecular diagnostics

Medical Laboratory Science

The study of small organisms ranging from one cell to few cells to no cells at all. It encompasses fields such as virology, bacteriology, protistology, & mycology.

Microbiology

The science concerned with the study of drugs and medication. It is the study of the interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals that affect normal or abnormal biochemical function. 

Pharmacology

Deals with the provision of essential nutrients in food that are necessary to support human life and health. Poor nutrition is a chronic problem often linked to poverty, food security or a poor understanding of nutrition and dietary practices.

Human Nutrition

The application of the knowledge of human functions and mechanisms to patients especially in a health care setting.

Human physiology

Developing and using devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures, and systems  to solve health problems and improve the quality of lives. This includes pharmaceuticals, devices, procedures, and organizational systems used in the healthcare, as well as computer-supported information systems (health informatics)

Health technology

Biochemistry

The molecular structures and processes of cellular life and their roles in the function, reproduction, and development of living organisms.

- The Central Dogma of Life
- Cell Organelles

Molecular and Cellular Biology

The study of embryonic developmental and other development processes, including cell regeneration, metamorphosis, aging, and disease development.   

Developmental Biology

Study of immune systems in all organisms. Immunology charts, measures, and contextualizes the physiological functions of the immune system, including health and disease, malfunctions of the immune system in immunological disorders, and the physical, chemical, and physiological characteristics of the immune system. 

Immunology 

Study of the cause, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases relating to blood.  This involves treating diseases that affect the production of blood and its components.

Hematology (Haematology)

A branch of chemistry that deals with the behavior of matter and how chemical reactions work using a lens of theoretical physics and applied math. 

Physical Chemistry

A branch of chemistry that deals with information concerning the quantity and quality of matter.

Analytical Chemistry

A branch of engineering that uses a variety of disciplines, including but not limited to chemistry, math, physics, and biology to study or design chemical processes. This is done to refine or create new technologies and products that focus on improving quality of life.

Chemical Engineering

Evolutionary Biology studies the processes that produced the diversity of life on earth or study of the phylogenetic history of organisms on earth.

Evolutionary Biology

The scientific field of study of nervous system function and development. The human nervous system is comprised of the central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral  (nerves and ganglia branching from brain and spinal cord) nervous systems. These are referred to as the CNS and PNS, respectively.

Neuroscience (Neurobiology)

The study of the structure of living organisms.

Anatomy

The study of the use of living organisms to make products.

Biotechnology

Also called plant biology or plant science, this is the study of plants.

Botany (Phytology)

Phycology (Algology)

The study of functions in living organisms (how the organism works). 

Physiology

Zoology

Includes the interdisciplinary sciences that focuses on the study of health and health care in both practical applications and research. 

Health Sciences

Biology

The scientific field of study of traits and their passage from parents to offspring. Humans inherit 23 chromosomes from the father, and 23 from the mother.
