You ask the individual if they are taking any non-prescription drugs. They tell you they recently started taking a coenzyme Q10 supplement based on a recommendation from a friend. The structure of coenzyme Q10 is shown below. Looking at the structure of the molecule, which one of the 4 major classes of macromolecules (carbohydrate, lipid, proteins or nucleotides) does it most closely resemble? Be sure to include specific chemical characteristics that support this decision.
The "melting point" of a DNA molecule is the temperature at which the double-helical strand breaks apart. Suppose you are given two DNA samples. One sample, sample A, contains 45% G-C base pairs, while the other sample, sample B, contains 64% G-C base pairs. The total number of bases is the same in each sample. Which of the two samples, sample A or sample B, has a higher melting point?
A. sample A
B. sample B
C. The melting point is the same for both.
A protein structure is solely determined by the sequence of amino acids in the
primary structure. Suppose that you were to genetically engineer a new protein by
keeping the exact same sequence, but it was completely reversed in the order of
amino acids compared to the original. Would the new protein have the same tertiary
structure as the original? Why?

- DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. It contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA). The information in DNA is stored as a code made up of four chemical bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Human DNA consists of about 3 billion bases, and more than 99 percent of those bases are the same in all people. The order, or sequence, of these bases determines the information available for building and maintaining an organism, similar to the way in which letters of the alphabet appear in a certain order to form words and sentences.
