hemistry of Life 2
Points to ponder ow are living things organized from atoms to molecules? What is p and how is it important to living organisms? What are the four macromolecules found in living organisms? What are the structure (subunits) and function of these four macromolecules? ow are proteins organized and how is their shape important to their function? ow are DA and RA similar and how are they different? 3
2.1 From Atoms to Molecules Building blocks from large to small Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. Elements are the basic building blocks of matter that cannot be broken down by chemical means. Atoms are the smallest units of an element that retain the element s physical and chemical properties. These bond together to form molecules. 4

2.1 From Atoms to Molecules Isotopes Isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number but a different atomic mass because the number of neutrons differ. Radioisotopes are useful in dating old objects, imaging body organs and tissues through X-rays, and killing cancer cells. Radiation can be harmful by damaging cells and DA and/or causing cancer. 8
