Ch. 4 Fundamentals of
Biology
Summary
In this chapter we studied the
fundamental properties of life.
All living things are made of four
basic macromolecules: lipids,
carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic
acids.
The currency for life is ATP.
Photosynthesis and cellular
respiration are the basic chemical
