Covalent Bond
Sharing of electrons (polar/non polar)
Chemistry of Living Organisms
Organic
Reactions take place in aqueous environment cell 70% H2O
Reactions take place in narrow temp range
Complex
Dominated by large polymers (DNA, RNA, sugars, lipids, proteins)
Ionic Bond
Transferring electrons from one atom to another
Importance of Weak Bonds
Often hold together molecules in cells
A lot of weak bonds, tight bonding
