Chemistry of Living Systems in the School Course

The inclusion of elements of chemistry of living systems in the school curriculum not only contributes to the formation of deep natural science knowledge, but also develops students’ ability to think analytically and see the world in the unity of its diverse connections. Examples of the inclusion of information on the chemistry of living systems in the control and measuring materials of the Unified State Exam are considered. Special attention is paid to the widespread modern misconceptions in the field of biochemistry. Correcting chemistry misconceptions is necessary, starting with school lessons.
