What makes an ecosystem different from a community?
Community only corresponds to the living things (biotic) in a specific area. Ecosystem involves the interaction between living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) things.

Explain how polar and nonpolar covalent bonds form.
Nonpolar = atoms have similar electronegativity values; equal sharing of electrons; no charge
Polar = atoms have different electronegativity values; unequal sharing of electrons; partial charges result

Why does ice float?
Stable hydrogen bonds keep water molecules of ice farther apart than water molecules of liquid water.

Explain the difference between unsaturated and saturated fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds.
Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds, resulting in a bend.

Why are the nucleic acids called Deoxyribonucleic acid and Ribonucleic acid?
The naming is based on the differences within the pentose sugar of the nucleotides. Deoxyribonucleic acid sees one oxygen missing from the pentose structure, making it deoxyribose sugar. Ribose sugar contains the oxygen in the place where it is missing in deoxyribose sugar.
