BIOChemistry
Matter is important because it is anything that takes up space and has mass. Elements are important because they cannot be broken down by further reactions which means they are pure: by which 25 are needed. Atoms are important because they make up matter. They also make up elements and retain its properties. Isotopes are important because it enables elements to have different masses. Cohesion is important because it is the ability to hold substances together by hydrogen bonding. Poler Molecules are important because it means that a molecule has opposite charges at opposing ends. This is very important to water because it influences water's versatility due to its polarity. Solvents are important because it means that it is a dissolving agent, which contributes to water's versatility.Kinetic energy is important in that it is the energy of motion. Temperature is important because it is heat's intensity which is influenced by the kinetic energy. Hydrocarbons are important in that they consist of carbon and hydrogens. This fact is important because the hydrogens atoms are attached to the cytoskeleton where its electrons are available for covalent bonding. Isomers are important in that they are compounds with a same formula but they are different in structures. This difference means that they have different properties. Functional Groups are very important because they are involved in chemical reactions which influences molecular diversity. Polymers are important because they are linked by covalent bonds which tie together its building blocks because they are macromolecules. Starches are important because they are storages polysaccharides for plants. Polysaccharides are storage spaces that provide sugar for cells. They are also important because they also serve to protect cells. Hydrolysis is important because it breaks down macromolecules with water. Hydrolysis of glycogen enables sugar to be released to the animal when needed. Fat is important because it stores energy. Amino Acids are important because they are similar to cells where they are building blocks, however Amino Acids formulate proteins. Although there is a limited amount of amino acids, there are endless combinations by which proteins can be formed. DNA is important because it holds genetic information for cells which is passed down during cell replication. RNA is important for protein synthesis. It also carries out the functions told by DNA.
