Chapter 3, Problem 15TYK

The diversity of life is staggering. Yet the molecular logic of life is simple and elegant: Small molecules common to all organisms are ordered into unique macromolecules. Explain why carbon is central to this diversity of organic molecules. How do carbon skeletons, chemical groups, monomers, and polymers relate to this molecular logic of life?

PART A. Redraw the table below on the whiteboard. Use your Biological Molecules Part 2 handout to fill in the missing information in Column B and C. A) Polymer Lipid DNA B) Monomer (or component units in the case of lipids). Draw the specific structure and put the name of the molecule under the structure. Fatty acids (pick 1), glycerol, glycerophospholipid Deoxynucleotide monophosphates (Pick one purine and one pyrimidine) C) Additional tasks Is your fatty acid saturated or unsaturated? How do you know? On your glycerophospholipid, identify the glycerol group, the fatty acids, and the phosphocholine. Label the hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. Label which is the purine and which is the pyrimidine. Circle the sugar on each.
