Document Summary

At the end of this unit, you should be able to define and/or use the following: When you"re done studying for this unit, you should be able to: recognize the structural features of the basic molecular building blocks (proteins, lipids, dna, and sugars) that are important for their functions within the cell. Match the monomer structure and name to the following biological polymers: protein, dna, sugar. Describe the role of hydrogen bonding in stabilizing higher order structures of proteins and carbohydrate polymers. Explain how the solubility of lipids are important for their functions within a cell. Recognize the structure of the following lipids: triglyceride, steroid, and phospholipid. Recall the role of triglycerides, steroids, and phospholipids in cells. Recall the class of chemical reactions that adds or removes fatty acid chains from glycerol. Identify the role(s) of carbohydrates in living cells. Recognize a sugar based on its structure and the formula cnh2non.
