Cell walls protect the cells from damage. It is also there to make the cell strong, to keep its shape, and to control the growing of the cell and plant. The cell wall is the tough, usually flexible but sometimes fairly rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells

Every compound can be represented by a chemical formula. a chemical formula is the set of symbols showing the elements that make up a compound and their proportions. water’s chemical formula is h 2 2 o. that means a molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen chemically bonded. a molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together. molecules can range in size from two to thousands of atoms. a molecule of a compound is the smallest unit of that compound. every molecule of water has all the physical and chemical properties of water. that’s because every molecule of water is made of the same elements in the same proportions: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen! which of the following is a true statement? a every molecule of the same compound will have different properties. b every molecule of a compound has the same proportion of elements. c molecules can be physically separated into smaller units of a compound. d molecules cannot be represented by chemical formulae.

Drag each label to the correct location on the table. each label can be used more than once. decide whether each statement describes saturated fat, unsaturated fat, or both saturated and unsaturated fats.

Female luna moths (actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. a male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. the sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. what predictions does your hypothesis make? design an experiment to test one of these predictions.
