Document Summary
When salt is added to water, the freezing point becomes more negative and the boiling point raises: salt disrupts the formation of the crystal lattice. Organisms must adapt to the changing temperatures: they adapt so their cells do not freeze, this can be done due to the colligative properties of water. A certain blood ph range must be maintained in order for an cell to live: ph homeostasis can be maintained via buffers. The structure of a biological compound is related to its function. C h bonds and c c bonds are electrically neutral and nonpolar. Hydrogen bonds are very polar due to the electronegativity of oxygen: this effects structure and function. Rotation does not exist around double bonds: this can impact the entire flexibility of a larger molecule (i. e. , proteins) Structural: the chemical properties change with the change in structure.
