Molecular Diversity

Submitted by OrganizedKhaos on Sun, 10/28/2007 - 11:15pm.

This weeks dicussion in class led to a lot of questions about the small things when compared to the bigger picture, life. The idea that we are all made of three simple atoms sort of takes away our specialness but also the random combinations which makes us differen adds to the specialness that we all possess. It reminds me about the ethanol and ethane discussion how the placement of one atom can either kill or someone or get you drunk.

I feel comfortable with the story that we are all made from basic atoms and have our own uniqueness and specialties due to random combinations.
