So, I was reading up on ADA and I think they made the "test specifications" more specific: Page 18
I haven't even read it...🙂
Here is the site:
I. Survey of the Natural Sciences (100)
Biology (40): Cell and Molecular Biology - origin of life; cell metabolism (including photosynthesis)/ enzymology; cellular processes: thermodynamics; organelle structure and function; mitosis/meiosis; cell structure; experimental cell biology; Diversity of Life: Biological Organization and Relationship of Major Taxa (monera, plantae, animalia, protista, fungi, etc.) using the five-kingdom system; Vertebrate Anatomy and Physiology: Structure and Function of Systems - integumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, immunological, digestive, respiratory, urinary, nervous/senses, endocrine, and reproductive; Developmental Biology - fertilization, descriptive embryology, developmental mechanisms; experimental embryology; Genetics - molecular genetics, human genetics, classical genetics, chromosomal genetics, genetic technology; Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior - natural selection, population genetics/speciation, cladistics, population and community ecology, ecosystems, animal behavior (including social behavior).
General Chemistry (30): Stoichiometry and General Concepts - percent composition, empirical formulae, balancing equations, moles and molecular formulas, molar mass, density, and calculations from balanced equations; Gases - kinetic molecular theory of gases, Dalton's, Boyle's, Charles, and ideal gas laws; Liquids and Solids - intermolecular forces, phase changes, vapor pressure, structures, polarity, and properties; Solutions - polarity, properties (colligative, non-colligative), forces, and concentration calculations; Acids and Bases - pH, strength, Bronsted-Lowry reactions, and calculations; Chemical Equilibria - molecular, acid/base, precipitation, calculations, and Le Chateliers principle; Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry- laws of thermodynamics, Hess law, spontaneity, enthalpies and entropies, and heat transfer; Chemical Kinetics - rate laws, activation energy, and half life; Oxidation-Reduction Reactions -balancing equations, determination of oxidation numbers, electrochemical calculations, and electrochemical concepts and terminology; Atomic and Molecular Structure - electron configuration, orbital types, Lewis-Dot diagrams, atomic theory, quantum theory, molecular geometry, bond types, and sub-atomic particles; Periodic Properties - representative elements, transition elements, periodic trends, and descriptive chemistry; Nuclear Reactions - balancing equations, binding energy, decay processes, particles, and terminology; Laboratory - basic techniques, equipment, error analysis, safety, and data analysis.
Organic Chemistry (30): Mechanisms (Energetics, Structure, and Stability of Intermediates) - SN1, SN2, elimination, addition, free radical, and substitution mechanisms; Chemical and Physical Properties of Molecules and Organic Analysis - inter- and intra-molecular forces, separation, introductory infrared spectroscopy, 1HNMR spectroscopy, 13CNMR, chemical identification, stability, solubility, and polarity; Stereochemistry - conformational analysis, geometric isomers, stereoisomers (enantiomers, diastereomers, meso compounds), optical activity (planes of symmetry); Nomenclature - IUPAC rules and functional groups in molecules; Individual Reactions of the Major Functional Groups and Combinations of Reactions to Synthesize Compounds - carbon-to-carbon bond formation, functional groups conversions, multistep synthesis, redox reactions, name reactions, Grignard, Witting, Diels-Alder, Aldol reaction; Acid-Base Chemistry - resonance effects, inductive effects, and prediction of products and equilibria; Aromatics and Bonding - concept of aromaticity, resonance, atomic/molecular orbitals, hybridization, bond angles/lengths.
