Create the basis for a new form of life that has one of our common atoms in organic molecules (C,O,H,N,P) swapped out for a different atom. Explain how this would change this organism's four major macromolecules and how they would interact differently with water. You will need to use some chemistry knowledge to explain how interactions between your new atom and the other common organic atoms will change compared to OUR organic interactions. For example, if you swap Nitrogen for Carbon, how will the nitrogen/oxygen bonds in carbohydrates change compared to OUR carbon/nitrogen bonds. Or if you swap Phosphorous with Silicon how will it change the shape of DNA?​
