Document Summary
*interpret macromolecules in relation to their roles and location in cells* Sugars/carbohydrates: why are sugars important in cell; broken down to form atp, plant cells produce sugar through photosynthesis, long term energy storage (long stable chains, quick easy access) 21. 01. 16 / 25. 01. 16: nitrogenous, nucleotide and nucleic acids all relate to nucleic acids but not interchangeable. Macromolecules in a cell: work together; interact with each other, certain types of molecules will be in preferred compartments/ specific locations in cell, determines their relationship. Which of these functions is not accomplished by carbohydrates: source of chemical energy, cellular recognition and communication (glycocalyx made of sugars, cell recognition and adhesion) Ch4 bonds are nonpolar covalent because e=0. 35 0. 35<0. 5 therefore nonpolar covalent. If see oxygen, chances are there is a dipole. If non-polar, hydrophobic, likes fat, can be inside membrane, can also be outside the structure of protein unless its in an aqueous environment.
