The Chemistry of Life:
The goal of this section of the unit is to gain an understanding of what an atom is and how its structure affects how it works. Once we understand the structure of the atom we will look at how one atom bonds to another to make a compound. Finally, we will explore how certain molecules are essential for life on Earth.

The Phospholipid Bilayer:
Now that you have a basic foundation in the chemistry of life, let's apply those ideas to the first major organelle of a cell, the cell membrane. The technical term for the cell membrane is the phospholipid bilayer. In this section we will discuss what those words mean and what a cell membrane does for a cell.
