- Hydrogen and Oxygen Atoms

Temperature is the measure of the motion of molecules.

Results from hydrogen bonds being disrupted and being released to the surface of the water where they float into the air and eventually form rain-completing the water cycle

Results from the hydrogen bonds becoming rigid and forming a lattice-like structure

Water-loving. When a substance readily forms hydrogen bonds with water and can dissolve in water.

Water- fearing. Will not dissolve in water. With non-polar compounds.

The release of water molecules at the surface of a liquid.

- Unsaturated fatty acids

Basically Glucose in a storage form in humans and animals. This is made up of monomers of glucose.

Makes up the base of most cell walls in plants. One of the most abundant biopolymers.

These are simple sugars, the most common is which is glucose.

Form when two monosaccharides undergo a dehydration molecule. Common ones are lactose, maltose and sucrose.

A long chain of monosaccharides linked by covalent bonds.

The stored form of sugars in plants that breaks down into smaller molecules in order to be digested and processed.

Saturated with hydrogen, meaning the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon skeleton has reached the maximum number available.

The major constituent of the plasma membrane.

Help with things like digestion

Chemical signaling molecules.

Most abundant and most diverse functioning

of all biological molecules on the planet.

Makes up the foundation for many different molecules forming the components of life. Can bond with many other molecules including nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus.

What is the chemistry of life?

Chemistry of Life studies the structure and function of these biomolecules and their role in biological processes at the molecular, cellular, and organismal level.

What is the main idea of chemistry of life?

The study of the structure and function of these biomolecules, as well as their role in biological processes at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels, is known as the Chemistry of Life.” Cells are made up of organic and inorganic molecules, which are made up of atoms that have been bonded together.

What are the 3 chemicals of life?

From the mightiest blue whale to the most miniscule paramecium, life as we know it takes dramatically different forms. Nonetheless, all organisms are built from the same six essential elemental ingredients: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur (CHNOPS).

What are the 4 chemical basis of life?

Biomolecules including carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins which form the basis of life, contain carbon as a chief component. Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry which deals with study of carbon compounds including synthesis, properties and chemical reactions.
