A few Hints:
Carbs Question 1. The chemical compound that contains sugar and stores hereditary information
is DNA, which we will study further in the next unit.
Carbs Question 3. Admittedly, the wording on this question is a little “off”, but, what is the least
"intrusive" change you can do to a sugar and still make another, different sugar? (Hint, in the
“Disaccharides” exercise take a look at the 3rd carbon of glucose and compare it to galactose).
Protein question 2. The "backbone" in a protein is the NH2-C-COOH part of EVERY amino acid
that connects one amino acid to another - and they are all the same (only the side chains of the
different amino acids vary). So, changing an amino acid in the primary structure of a protein
wouldn't (repeat, would NOT) change the backbone.
