Lipids and Phospholipids The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The head which is hydrophilic contains a group of phosphate‚ a diglyceride and a simple molecule e.g. choline. The tail is hydrophobic and is made up of fatty acids. Phospholipids receive and transmit signals across the cell membrane and act as a store room for energy. The main role of phospholipids is that they can form lipid bilayers. It is an amphipathic molecule. The

chromosomes located in the nucleus of the cell. A molecule of DNA consists of two chains‚ strands composed of a large number of nucleotides‚ that are linked together to form a chain. These chains look like a twisted ladder and are called a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of three units: sugar molecules called deoxyribose‚ a phosphate group‚ and one of four different nitrogen containing compounds‚ also called bases. The four are adenine (A)‚ guanine (G)‚ thymine (T)‚ and cytosine (C). The deoxyribose

Although reports show many negative effects towards learning skills from modern technologies‚ the same reports inadvertently show otherwise. Without looking further into this problem‚ a person could easily jump to conclusions about the harmful effects technology causes on learning skills. These assessments

Biochemistry‚ GRT1 Task 2 Essential Amino Acid Valine A1: 2 Characteristics of Valine • Valine is a nonpolar amino acid‚ with many carbons surrounded by hydrogen. Valine is unable to interact with water molecules‚ making it HYDROPHOBIC (MSDS‚ 2005). • Flammability- Valine is combustible at high temperatures. These products are carbon oxides and nitrogen oxides. In case of a small fire‚ dry chemical powder should be utilized. In case of a large fire‚ utilize water spray‚ fog or foam. No water

Biology‚ 7e (Campbell) Chapter 16: The Molecular Basis of Inheritance Chapter Questions 1) For a couple of decades‚ biologists knew the nucleus contained DNA and proteins. The prevailing opinion was that the genetic material was proteins‚ and not DNA. The reason for this belief was that proteins are more complex than DNA. This is because A) proteins have a greater variety of three-dimensional forms than does DNA. B) proteins have two different levels of structural organization; DNA has

Complementary bases Guanine is the complementary base of cytosine‚ and adenine is the complementary base of thymine in DNA and of uracil in RNA.

Jacob Cohn Mr. Lander Period 4 1/20/2011 When the two strands of DNA double helix are separated‚ each can serve as a template for the replication of a new complementary strand‚ producing two daughter molecules each of which contains two DNA strands with an antiparallel orientation. The enzymes involved in DNA replication process are template-directed polymerases that can synthesize the complementary sequence of each strand with extraordinary fidelity. This complex leads to the local denaturation

The receiving of the medal led to Jerome’s downward spiral which was represented by him living at the bottom of the double helix staircase as he was now at the bottom of the genetic ladder. Niccol used Jerome to show the danger of these immense pressures placed upon people and how the manipulation of genetics to ‘improve’ a person may not always work in the long term.
