What is a compound made of just two different elements?
It might be either a molecule or an ionic compound.
What was the other type of molecule that some scientists thought might carry genetic information?
protiens
Suppose that enzyme X catalyzes a reaction that involves the breakdown of a molecule. The product of this reaction is an amino acid. What molecule is the enzyme breaking down?
it might be a protein.. since proteins are polymers of various amino acids..
What factor can determine which pathway a cell might follow aerobic or anaerobic in glycolysis?
Oxygen
If a molecule smells minty what can you say about its chemistry?
It probably has a ketone, and a ringed structure. It also might end with the suffix -one.
Is waterproofing surfaces an lipid?
Waterproofing requires a compound that is hydrophobic, i.e., "water-avoiding." In chemical terms this means a non-polar compound, because water itself is a polar molecule (having + and - regions). The basic principle is that polar and non-polar molecules generally don't interact. Lipids are mostly non-polar (though the molecule might have a polar end) so they can serve as waterproofing. Wax, for instance, is a lipid.
When studying a molecule a chemist might make a model of the molecule to?
TO help visualize the molecule
Did Avery and his colleagues think that the molecule required a transformation might also be a molecule of the gene?
Yes.
Avery and his colleagues thought that the molecule required in transformation might also be the molecule of the gene?
True
How might a molecule have a very strong molecule dipole?
This is possible because electrical charges (positive or negative) are non-uniform distributed in the molecule.
What molecule might have been the first one to hold heredity information and be the base of cell biochemistry?
It was DNA molecule
Where is chemical energy stored in a molecule?

What is literature study?
Literature is studied for various reasons. One reason would be to determine the skill of the author. Another might be to discuss the layers of meaning in the work.
What is an example of a test a chemist might do?
A 'Flame Test' to test for which metal cation is present. Another is a precipitation test .
How can cells stop diffusion through protein channels?
Well there are many different factors that might dictate whether or not a molecule is capable of passively (diffusion) crossing the threshold of the phosolipid bi-layer (cell membrane). The size would be one variable. If it is too large, it might require assistance to cross over. The polarity of the molecule as it might interact negatively (no pun intended) with the polarity of either the cell membrane or the cell entirely, if it contains large amounts of opposing ions. And then, of course, the concentration gradient of the molecule and how much of this same molecule exists in and outside the cell itself. If any of these obstacles exists, the molecule would require active transport into the cell, which means it would require the expenditure of energy, or a pump or gateway of some kind, depending on the substance...
Is benzil a polar molecule?
It might be tempting to think Benzil is a polar molecule because of the C=O bonds, but the high level of symmetry in the molecule cancels out any overall dipole and leaves the molecule non-polar.

This is possible because electrical charges (positive or negative) are non-uniform distributed in the molecule.
