BIO 311C Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Decarboxylation, Glycolipid, Reading Frame
Document Summary
Ames test evaluates whether a chemical is a mutagen: 60% mc 40% free response, know to draw, molecules, linkages, bonds, know to draw functional groups to identify r-groups, oh, cooh, and nh3, know water, cohesion adhesion. High specific heat ice is less dense than water. Fish would die in completely frozen lakes and oceans if ice sank water is a great solvent. Can be polar and nonpolar depending on electronegativity. Strongest to weakest: covalent, aqueous ionic, hydrogen, van der waals. Hydrogen bonds are not true bonds rather they are intermolecular interactions. Trade electrons unequally: monomers, methyl group is hella nonpolar, one ring. Lipids ester linkages for lipids nonpolar steroids are rings phospholipids are amphipathic fats are completely nonpolar can be saturated or unsaturated. Starch is branched and can be digested with amylase cellulose strong in plants glycogen is the animal starch glucose is a monosaccharide.
