Points to ponder
• How are living things organized from atoms to
molecules?
• What is pH 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?
• How are proteins organized and how is their shape
important to their function?
• How are DNA and RNA similar and how are they
different?
