Acidic and basic conditions affect living organisms: hydrogen ion: a single proton with a charge of 1, hydroxide ion: water molecule left when a hydrogen atom is transferred; has a charge of. Chapter 4: carbon and the molecular diversity of life. He found a variety of organic molecules such as formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide. He concluded that complex organic molecules could have arisen spontaneously in such conditions. Chapter 5: the structure and function of large biological.

The rest consists of hydrocarbon chains: in making a fat, three fatty acid molecules are each joined to glycerol by an ester linkage, a bond formed by a hydroxyl and a carboxyl group.
