Are elements that are required by some cells in small amounts in order to function properly. Some of the elements include: sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), calcium (Ca), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), or vanadium (V).

Micronutrients (trace elemnts)

There are 2 types of Isomers and they are:
- Isomers
- Structural Isomers
- Stereoisomers

Types of Isomers

Is a large molecule made up of thousands of atoms which are covalently bonded  atoms. This very large molecule is important to biological processes. 

Macromolecules

The atoms of an organic molecule are typically organized around chains of carbon atoms. Organic molecules must contain carbon atoms covalently bonded to hydrogen atoms.

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.

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.

Organic Molecules

Biomolecules contain a carbon sekelton which is a result of carbon’s unique combination of size and bonding properties, carbon atoms can bind together in large numbers, thus producing a chain. The carbon skeleton of organic molecules can be straight, branched, or ring shaped (cyclic).

Carbon skeleton

Biomolecules contain functional groups which are  groups of atoms within molecules that are categorized by their specific chemical composition and the chemical reactions they perform, regardless of the molecule in which the group is found.some examples of that are commonly used in microbiology include amnio acid groups.
