Glycerol + 3 fatty acids ( building blocks) used for energy/ energy storage

Question 17

Glycerol

Answer 17

Has 3 hydroxyl groups

Question 18

Fatty acids

Answer 18

Has carboxyl group on end and carbon chain( hydrophobic)

Question 19

Phospholipid

Answer 19

Glycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphate ( building blocks)

Used for cell membrane and organelle membrane structures in cells (C,H,O,P) * create phospholipid bilayer*

Question 20

Steroids/sterol

Answer 20

4 ring structure

Question 21

Cholesterol

Answer 21

Strengthens cell membranes in animal cells

Question 22

Ergosterol

Answer 22

Strengthens cell membranes in fungal cells

Question 23

Structures

Answer 23

Primary structure= actual chain of AA; bonds are strong
Secondary structure= coiling of AA; done by H- bonds that are weak
Tertiary= Distinct 3D shape driven by AA sequence so bonds are variable, some H, some S but they are weak.
Can Denature

Question 24

Proteins (C,H,O,N,P)

Answer 24

Building blocks= amino acids the R group varies
20 different aa
