proteins
For Individual lipids in a membrane bilayer, _______ movement is unrestricted while
_______ movement is restricted. - CORRECT ANSWER-lateral, transverse
Which of the following is NOT a lipid/fat soluble vitamin? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Vitamin C
Circle all of the following lipids that are involved in cell signaling - CORRECT
ANSWER-Eicosanoids & Steroids
What are the three components of nucleotides? - CORRECT ANSWER-sugar,
nitrogenous base, phosphate
Which nitrogenous bases are purines and which are pyrimidines - CORRECT
ANSWER-purines: A G
Pyrimidines: C U T
List each of the four factors that contribute to the overall 3-D structure of nucleic
acids - CORRECT ANSWER-1. H-bonding
2. syn/anti
3. base stacking
4. sugar puckering
Chemical analysis for why Thymine is used for DNA and NOT Uracil. Or why uracil is
used in RNA and not DNA. - CORRECT ANSWER-Uracil is more reactive and less
stable than Thiamine because it has a methyl protecting it
DNA needs to be protected to secure genetic information and RNA needs to
Outline the key features of the fluid mosaic model for membrane structure. Include
types of lipids, proteins, movement, etc. - CORRECT ANSWER-- fluid: consists of
polypeptides that move laterally, but cannot flip across the bilayer transversely.
- The mosaic part refers to proteins embedded in the membrane some integral
(through the membrane) and some peripheral (one layer)
, - Domains consist of proteins, phospholipids, and steroids with close interactions
from lipid rafts, moving throughout the "fluid' as a unit
Compare and contrast DNA and RNA (sugar, bases, stability, etc.) - CORRECT
ANSWER-- DNA (deoxyribose) Thiamine, double stranded, one copy, more stable
- RNA (ribose) Uracil, single stranded, multiple copies, less stable
- BOTH: use A,G,C nucleotides and phosphodiester bondsB

CORRECT ANSWER-H-bonds between two parts of a polypeptide so that those
segments are held together side by side.
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of globular proteins? - CORRECT
ANSWER-highly repetitive in primary structure
What is the term used to describe the combination of an enzyme with its cofactor(s)?

CORRECT ANSWER-Phosphotyrosine
Which AA is NOT basic? - CORRECT ANSWER-Methionine
An A-helix is stabilized by what type of interactions? - CORRECT ANSWER-H-bonds
between peptide groups four positions along the polypeptide
