Week 2 pp. 43-50, 109-141 Cell Chemistry and Molecular Interactions The Chemical Components of a Cell Living organisms made of Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Atoms of elements linked together by covalent bonds to form molecules Covalent bonds typically stronger than thermal energies within cell Resist being pulled apart by thermal motions Normally broken only during speciﬁc chemical reactions with other atoms and molecules Two different molecules can be held together by noncovalent bonds Much weaker Important in situations where molecules
