Exam 1

Question 1

Macromolecules

Answer 1

Lipids, carbohydrates, protein, nucleic acid

Question 2

Lipids

Answer 2

Hydrophobic, loosely defined, “fat” &
“Oil” No charges No polar bonds usually means a lot of carbon & hydrogen.

Question 3

4 types of lipids

Answer 3

Fatty acids
Triglycerides
Phospholipids
Steroids

Question 4

Do fatty acids have long hydrophobic tails

Answer 4

Yes & a carboxylic acid group

Question 5

Fatty acids can

Answer 5

Have any length in carbon chain & is also able to have carbon-carbon double bonds

Question 6

Saturation

Answer 6

Saturation deals with how many hydrogen atoms are present

Unsaturated fatty acids can add hydrogen if the double bond is taken out

Question 7

Saturated

Answer 7

Solid

Question 8

Unsaturated

Answer 8

More kinks in a molecule due to its shape

Question 9

Poly saturated

Answer 9

Less solid more liquid like

Question 10

Saturated fatty acid melting points

Answer 10

18°C → 70°C
16°C → 63°C
12°C → 44°C

Question 11

Unsaturated melting point

Answer 11

1 unsaturated → 16°c
2 unsaturated → 5°C
3 unsaturated → - 11°C

Question 12

Triglycerides

Answer 12

Most common
Major lipid in diet

Question 13

Phospholipids

Answer 13

Key component of all biological membrane built from 2 fatty acids + glycerol+ phosphate + hydrophilic head group

Question 14

Steroids

Answer 14

4 fused rings
Cholesterol
Abundant in animals

Question 15

Carbohydrates

Answer 15

“Hydrates of Carbon” = lots of carbon & water
Sugars very hydrophilic
