Hi Flashcards
are found in the cytoplasmic membrane, the cell wall, and in storage granules.
Lipids (blue)
are found throughout the cell both as parts of cell structures and as enzymes. The flagellum is a structure involved in swimming motility.
Proteins (brown)
is found in the nucleoid of prokaryotic cells and in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
DNA (green)
are located in the cell wall and occasionally in internal storage granules.
Polysaccharides (yellow)
is found in the cytoplasm (mRNA, tRNA) and in ribosomes (rRNA)
RNA (orange)

Polysaccharides
Types of Lipids
True Fats (Triglycerides)
Phospholipids
Sterols
C,H,O
Carbohydrates
- w/o double bond; solid at room temp eg. Animal fats, beeswax, ear wax
Saturated fats
- w/ double bond; remain liquid at room temp eg. Plant/vegetable oils (olive oil, peanut oil, soya oil, corn oil, etc.)
b) Unsaturated fats
- 2 fatty acids+ 1 phosphate + 1 glycerol - found in cell membrane of all cells (arranged in bilayer)
Phospholipids
common in containing ring structures
eg. Cholesterol, Vitamins (water- insoluble vitamins such as Vit. E, Vit. K, Vit A), Progesterone (female hormone), Testosterone (male hormone)
Sterols
- blood sugar
glucose
- fruit sugar
fructose
- a sugar found in milk
galactose
- table sugar (1 glucose + 1 fructose)
Sucrose
- malt sugar (2 glucose)
maltose
milk sugar (1 glucose + 1 galactose)
Lactose
- storage form of sugars in plants
Starch
- in exoskeletons of insects & crustaceans; in cell wall of fungi
Chitin
