Document Summary
Is defined as the study of life at the molecular level. Electrons are found on the outside of the atom (called valence electrons) and have a - ve charge. Protons are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a +"ve charge. Neutrons are found in the nucleus and have no charge. The outer shell has an 8 electron capacity (depending on how many electors an atom has, affects the way it behaves with other substances) substances to become hydrophilic) Electronegativity causes polarity, which is due to the unequal sharing of electors in a bond (cause. Are made up of amino acids and contains nitrogen. Amino acids all have similar structures just different side chains. Are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Are composed of fatty acids and glycerol. They contain less oxygen (meaning they are more reduced) and yield more energy when oxidized.
