The Chemistry of Life CD-ROM is intended to teach the essentials to students encountering chemistry for the first time, as well as those needing a thorough review before continuing with their science or allied health coursework. Using a highly interactive format, The Chemistry of Life CD-ROM explains and illustrates crucial concepts and principles such as atomic structure, properties of water, pH, buffers, enzyme function, and the structure and function of macromolecules. Learning is reinforced by presenting students with animations, encouraging interaction, then testing their grasp of the material with interactive quizzes.
