Why are intermolecular forces, such as van der Waals forces (hydrogen bonds), important to biological function?
A. Intermolecular forces do not play a major role in biological functions.
B. They are stronger than ionic or covalent bonds.
C. They are easy to form and break apart, making them ideal for short-term interactions.
D. They are hard to break apart, making them ideal for long-term interactions.
