Biology Top Ten Elizabeth Kim Natural selection acts on individuals; evolution acts on populations. Water?s polarity contributes to its properties of cohesion and adhesion. Functional groups determine a molecule?s properties ? acidity, baseness. Active transport requires input of free energy while passive transport does not. Each enzyme has a specific function due to distinct shapes of active sites and the substrates that fit into it. Protein is formed from polypeptide chains of their monomers ? amino acids. In early life, as organisms became exposed to a new environment with oxygen, they were able to use photosynthesis to acquire and use energy more efficiently for gaining resources.

R group dictates what the polypeptide will do Hydrophobic = CH 3 ; Hydrophilic = -OH, -SH- NH (charged particles R Groups 20 different life-building side chains (amino acids) Polypeptide polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule
