Chapter 2, Problem 2P

Summary Introduction

To determine: The advantage of weak interactions between biomolecules for an organism.

Introduction:

The molecules connect due to the attractive forces acting among them. These forces of attraction result in the formation of physical characteristics (viscosity, melting point, and boiling point) of molecules. The forces between the biomolecules are “London forces”, “Dipole-Dipole”, “Hydrogen-bonding”, “Ion-Dipole”, and “Ionic-Bonding”
