Role: an important component of cell structure
Under certain conditions, free water and bound water can transform into each other.
Cooling: free water → bound water (warming and vice versa)
Free water → bound water (life activities slow down, metabolism slows down)
Bound water → free water (strong life activities and accelerated metabolism)
Free water/bound water↑strong cell metabolism and weak stress resistance
Free water/bound water↓Slow cell metabolism and strong stress resistance
Has a high specific heat capacity
When the oxygen end of one water molecule is close to the hydrogen end of another water molecule, the electrostatic attraction between them forms a weak attraction - a hydrogen bond.
The temperature of water is relatively difficult to change
Very important for maintaining the stability of life systems
Able to maintain liquid state at room temperature and have fluidity
Hydrogen bonds are weak, easily broken, and can only last for a very short time. Hydrogen bonds are constantly broken and formed.

Protein is the main carrier of life activities
protein function
Structural proteins: important proteins that make up the structure of cells and organisms
Catalysis: Chemical reactions in cells are inseparable from enzymes. Most enzymes are proteins, and a few enzymes are RNA.
Transport function: e.g. hemoglobin carrier protein
Regulating (information transmission) role: Some proteins play the role of information transmission and can regulate the body's life activities, such as insulin and growth hormone.
Immunity: eg. Antibodies are proteins that can help the body resist viruses, bacteria and other antigens.
The basic building blocks of protein – amino acids
General structural formula: (C₂H₄O₂N–R)
The difference between amino acids is the difference in the R group

Non-essential amino acids (13)
protein structure
Amino acids condense through dehydration to form peptide chains
Dehydration condensation: The carboxyl group of one amino acid molecule is connected to the amino group of another amino acid molecule, and a molecule of water is removed at the same time.
The chemical bond that connects two amino acid molecules is called a peptide bond
Compounds formed by the condensation of multiple amino acids and containing multiple peptide bonds are called polypeptides
Because hydrogen bonds can be formed between different amino acids on the peptide chain, the peptide chain can twist and fold to form a protein molecule with a certain spatial structure.
protein diversity
Amino acid level
Different types of amino acids
Different amounts of amino acids
Amino acids are arranged in different order
Peptide chain level
The way polypeptide chains twist and fold and the spatial structures they form vary widely.
transsexual
Irreversible
Over-acidity, over-alkali, high temperature, and alcohol will all cause protein denaturation.
The spatial structure is destroyed, the physical and chemical properties are changed, and the biological activity is lost.
No disruption of the peptide chain is involved, the primary structure remains intact
