Covalent bonds place constraints on the shapes of biological molecules. as the size and complexity of a biomolecule increases, the chemical focus shifts from covalent bonds to noncovalent interactions. noncovalent interactions dictate the stable, native conformations of large macromolecules and polymers while permitting the flexibility necessary for their biological functions. what characteristics of weak noncovalent interactions enable the assembly, stability, and functions of biomolecules? they are not affected by the surrounding aqueous environment. they are readily reversible, whereas covalent bonds require a much larger input of energy to break. they have a large aggregate strength when multiple interactions are present. they are stable, requiring a large amount of energy to break.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

Astore manager timed janette to see how long it would take her to fold and put away a sweater, a shirt, a pair of pants, and a scarf. it took her 26.1 seconds for the shirt, 24.3 seconds for the sweater, 32.8 seconds for the pants, and 18.2 seconds for the scarf. what was the average time it took janette to fold and put away all four items? during a catered lunch, an average of 4 cups of tea are poured per minute. the lunch will last 2 hours. how many gallons of tea should the caterer bring if there are 16 cups in one gallon?
