BIOL 2020 Study Guide - Final Guide: Rna Splicing, C-Terminus, Nuclear Lamina
Document Summary
Length of chain, higher unsaturated content, cis bonds. Describe triglycerides , links, and how to make soap. Shape of phosphatidycholine and the direction of 2 acids. Glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acid chains, good for energy, attached thru ester linkage (esterification) and soaps are from sodium and potassium salts of long chains of fatty acids and treated with a strong base (use animal fats) Fatty acids are cleaved from triacyglycerol and carried to cells, as large globules in cytoplasm. One or more fatty acids, glycerol or sphingosine, a phosphate, and an alcohol attached to phosphate. Hydrocarbon tail on one end and hydroxyl group at the other end , steroid nucleus. Prokaryotes , 25%, intracellular membranes, no, esterified to fatty acid. Sugar containing lipids, ubiquitous, sphingosine, fatty acid, cerebroside. To associate a protein with a hydrophobic environment. A) palmitoyl group attached to cysteine at thio bond b) farnesyl group attached to cysteine at carboxyl terminus.
