Introduction: themes in the study of life9/10/2012 11:47:00 pm. Overview: the molecule that supports all of life. Section 3. 1: polar covalent bonds in water molecules result in hydrogen. Section 3. 2: four emergent properties of water contribute to earth"s. Substances that do not have an affinity for water. It has more hydroxide ions (oh-: a solution with a higher oh- concentration than h+ are known as basic solutions, the ph scale, in any aqueous solution at 25 c, the product of the h+ and. Phosphorus (p) are other common ingredients of these compounds, but it is the element carbon that accounts for enormous variety of biological molecules. Section 4. 3: a few chemical groups are key to the functioning of biological. Section 5. 1: macromolecules are polymers, built from monomers: the synthesis and breakdown of polymers, the diversity of polymers. Section 5. 2: carbohydrates serve as fuel and building material: sugars, polysaccharides, storage polysaccharides, structural polysaccharides.
