Questions (P1) • What are the 3 components of a nucleotide? • How does a nucleotide differ from a nucleic acid? • How does a nucleotide differ from a nucleoside? • What are 3 structural differences between DNA & RNA?
Questions (Answers P1) • What are the 3 components of a nucleotide? • Nitrogenous Base (nucleobase), 5-carbon sugar (Ribose or Deoxyribose), and Phosphate group • How does a nucleotide differ from a nucleic acid? • Nucleic acid (polynucleotide) is a polymer of nucleotides • How does a nucleotide differ from a nucleoside? • Nitrogenous Base (nucleobase), 5-carbon sugar (Ribose or Deoxyribose), NO PHOSPHATE GROUP • What are 3 structural differences between DNA & RNA? • DNA is 2-stranded • DNA has A, C, G, and T; RNA has U in place of T • DNA has H on 2’ Carbon; RNA has OH on 2’ Carbon
Questions (P2) • Which n-base type has 1 ring? 2-rings? • What is the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology? • In DNA, the amount of A = ? Amount of G = ? • In DNA, the amount of purines equals the amount of ____ ? • In DNA, if G = 15% then what is the percent of the other nucleobases?
Questions (Answers P2) • Which n-base type has 1 ring? 2-rings? • Pyrimidine (CUT) = 1-ring Purine (AG) = 2-ring • What is the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology? • DNA RNA Protein • One way ONLY • In DNA, the amount of A = ? Amount of G = ? • [A] = [T] & [G] = [C] • In DNA, the amount of purines equals the amount of ____ ? • Pyrmidines • In DNA, if G = 15% then what is the percent of the other nucleobases? • C = 15%, A = 30%, T = 30%, U = ?
Lipids are… • Diverse class of molecules • Commonality: Hydrophobic Macromolecules • Will they dissolve in water? • NOT Polymers • Fats – Energy storage • Phospholipids – Main component of membranes • Steroids - Hormones • Cholesterol
Fats • Constructed from Glycerol + Fatty acids • Ester linkage forms 1 fat from these parts • What type of reaction forms an ester linkage?
Types of Fats • Saturated • No double bonds in the fatty acid • Animal fats • Linked to heart disease • Solid at room temperature • Unsaturated • At least 1 double bond • Plant fats • Called oils • Liquid at room temperature
Trans Fats • Do NOT occur naturally • Only in Labs • Unsaturated fats are chemically “saturated” with hydrogen atoms • Some double bonds FAIL, trans- configuration • Taste really good • Cardiovascular Killers • Food labels & 0% Trans fats • Also called Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils
Trans fat Elaidic Acid Cis fat Oleic Acid

Questions (Answers P1) • What is the difference between the 2 main types of fats? • Presence of double bonds between carbons (Unsaturated Fats) or absence of double bonds (Saturated Fats) • What is the common feature for all lipids? • Not polymers OR Hydrophobic • What are the 3 main types of lipids? • Fats, Sterols, & Phospholipids • What are the components of a fat? • Glycerol head + 3 Hydrocarbon Tails
Questions (P2) • Name 3 ways that unsaturated fats differ from saturated fats? • Why are trans fats different that unsaturated fats?
Questions (Answers P2) • Name 3 ways that unsaturated fats differ from saturated fats? • Unsaturated fats are healthier than saturated fats • Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature, saturated fats are solid • Unsaturated fats have double bonds in their hydrocarbon tails, saturated fats do not • Unsaturated fats are kinked, saturated fats are oriented in a line • Unsaturated fats are plant fats, saturated fats are animal fats • Why are trans fats different that unsaturated fats? • Chemically synthesized in the laboratory • Around the double bonds, a trans- geometric isomerization is created
Phospholipids • Similar to a fat, but only 2 fatty acids • Also has a phosphate group • Hydrophilic + Hydrophobic regions • Found in Phospholipid Bilayer of membranes • The dual nature of phospholipids = barrier
Steroids • Considered lipids because they are hydrophobic!! • Consist of 4 fused rings • Cholesterol is a steroid (huh?)
