BIO 1140 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Glycolipid, Thalassinidea, Organism
Document Summary
A3: organism extracts chloroplasts from algae, and uses it to get energy. Refers to the example of the sea slug only. significant because it explains the endo symbiont relationship. Q5: sketch a phosphoglyceride and use your sketch to illustrate its amphipathic nature. **type of sketch is fair game for midterm, and final. When you put them into water you get hydrophobic interactions. the non-polar tails gather together, and away from water, and the polar heads, are interacting with water. (a non-covalent interaction making it very liquid) Glycolipids: similar in structure to phospholipids. main difference is instead of phosphate or r group they have sugars. You can either have single sugar units, or strings of sugars (oligosacharides). Found primary with the carbohydrate group extending to the outside of the cell. They are commonly used as signals or recognition signals blood groups: the different types refer to the different types of carbohydrates coming off of your red blood cells.
