The Chemistry of Biology [E-Book] : Basis and Origin of Evolution / by Armin Börner, Juliana Zeidler.
Living organisms are distinguished by their chemical basis. Thus, knowledge of the properties of the elements and the interactions of the resulting compounds is a prerequisite for understanding biology. Chemistry answers the questions of why, among the more than 100 elements of the periodic table (P...
