Question

1. Make a series (at least 3) of drawings to show the three dehydration synthesis reactions that take place between the two Fatty Acids, the Phosphate Head and the Glycerol.  Show the water molecules made.

a) Label the following on the completed phospholipid: hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of the molecule, fatty acids, phosphate group, and glycerol.  

b) Compare the structure of the phospholipid to that of a triglyceride.  How are the two molecules Similar?  How are they different?

2. Use the following vocabulary to label and draw a cell membrane:

  • cytoplasm (cell lumen)
  • extra-cellular fluid
  • hydrophobic
  • hydrophilic
  • polar head
  • non-polar tails

a) How many O-H groups are there? And are the O-H areas of sucrose polar or non-polar?

b) What is the term that is used to discuss how tightly or loosely an atom's nucleus has a hold of its valence electrons?

You will make drawings similar to the model pieces shown below. Using the color code for the different atoms will help, so break out the colored pencils or crayons if you have them!
1. Oxygen: red
2. Hydrogen: white
3. Phosphorus: yellow
4. Nitrogen: blue
5. Carbon: gray
Straight-Chain
Saturated Fatty Acid
Kinked-Chain
Unsaturated Fatty Acid
(Cis Configuration)
Phosphate Head
(Phosphatidylcholine)
Glycerol
