UNIT 1: Chemistry of Life Flashcards
How do polarity and hydrogen bonding result in the properties of water?
Carbon function
build macromolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. used in storage compounds and cell formation in all organisms
Nitrogen function
build proteins and nucleic acids.
Phosphorous function
build nucleic acids and certain lipids

LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1.1
Explain how the properties
of water that result from
its polarity and hydrogen
bonding affect its biological
function.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1.2
Describe the composition of
macromolecules required by
living organisms.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1.3
Describe the properties
of the monomers and the
type of bonds that connect
the monomers in biological
macromolecules.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1.4
Describe the properties
of the monomers and the
type of bonds that connect
the monomers in biological
macromolecules.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1.5
Explain how a change in
the subunits of a polymer
may lead to changes in
structure or function of
the macromolecule.
LEARNING OBJECTIVE 1.6
Describe the structural
similarities and differences
between DNA and RNA.
cohesion
adhesions
structure adhesion
evaporative cooling
high specific heat
