1) Discuss recent findings on the effects of consumption of cholesterol and saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats. Give examples of each type of fat.
2) We often think only of DNA and RNA as nucleic acids. Discuss the role of other, less “well-known” nucleic acids, such as cAMP, cGMP, NADH, NADPH, and FADH.
3) Collagen is a very important structural protein in animals. Discuss the various parts of the body in which collagen is an important structural molecule and what its function is at each body location.
