The cell is the basic unit of life: all cells are alive, all living things are made of cells, all cells come from other cells, the cell is the smallest unit that displays all properties of life. Evolution happens: because of the way dna is passed on, because organisms interact with their environment, because of natural variation, mutations genetic differences among offspring, survival and reproduction of the fittest, therefore leave more offspring than peers. Chemical bonds: attractions between reactive atoms, covalent. Water: readily forms hydrogen bonds b, weak attractive forces. 4 classes of organic molecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins nucleic acids. Carbohydrates (ch2o: classes, functions, monosaccharides: simple sugars, disaccharides: simple sugars, polysaccharides i, energy transport, energy storage, structure/support (fiber, rich in hydroxyl groups (-oh, oh groups are polar.
