Week 4

Question 1

Lipids
* Explain and describe the differences between fatty acid lipid and non-fatty acid lipids

Question 1

• Draw and explain the formation of triacylglycerides (TAGs), and describe the differences found in
  structure and function versus phospholipids, including variations in cis/trans double bonds,
  saturation, etc.

Question 2

Carbohydrates
* Draw the structure of monosaccharides in the various forms they can take, labeling carbonyls
(ketose vs. aldose)

Question 3

• Explain the difference between alpha and beta formations of cyclical forms of monosaccharides,
  and their significance during polymerization of monosaccharides

Question 4

• Describe the differences between nutritional polysaccharides and structural polysaccharides
  Metabolism

Question 5

• Explain catabolism versus anabolism, the types of fuel/materials used for each process, and how
  this relates to concentration gradients and thermodynamics

Question 6

• Describe substrate-level phosphorylation, and how it differs from oxidative phosphorylation
  (recall basics from freshmen bio, building in specifics from current PPTs)

Question 7

• Explain the significance of NADH and FADH2 including what they are generated from and where
  they are headed to in the cell

Question 8

• Draw the general flow of reactants through glycolysis, Krebs cycle, and the electron transport
  chain, including the number of ATP, NADH and FADH2 generated through each process (Note:
  You do not need to draw the structural specifics of molecules of the citric acid cycle like
  isocitrate or fumarate, etc., but do know how many CO2 exit the citric acid cycle, as an example)
