Major Assignment PART I: Modelling Carbohydrates, Lipids, and Proteins. Due Date: Friday, October 10 /30 Part I: Complete the 3 mini-investigations as outlined on the Biochemistry Unit Outline. Complete the follow-up text questions for each mini-investigation, in full sentences, as outlined on the Biochemistry Unit Outline. (21 marks) Please note the following modifications/additions to questions: p. 33 C: Explain whether fructose and glucose are isomers. p. 33 D: The glucose chain initially referred to is the one made in Step 6. For the follow-up question, specify the molecule that would be made for alpha-glucoses in a single chain. What would be the name of the glycosidic linkages in this alpha-glucose chain? p. 37 E: Which element is less abundant in lipids than in carbs? p. 37 F: Explain your answers (why polar or not? To what degree polar?). Additional Questions: After all text questions, answer these questions under the heading “Additional Questions”. 1.) What is the function of glycogen? What is the function of cellulose? Explain why the molecular structures of each of these polysaccharides are well suited for their functions. (4 marks) 2.) Explain what 2 general parts of a phospholipid make it “amphipathic”. Name the specific components that make up each of these 2 parts, and describe why they have the polarity that they do. (2 marks) 3.) Draw and label the amino acids cysteine and serine. Draw the product formed from the reaction of cysteine bonding with serine to create a dipeptide. Circle the 4 atoms that surround the resulting peptide bond. (3 marks)
