Draw the following Lipids in A) Condensed (detailed) Structure, B) its Block Diagram. C) Show/Indicate the type of linkages per structure (put an arrow) 1) Triacylglycerol (use glycerol, 3 fatty acids consisting of stearic acid, palmitic acid, and linolenic acid); 2) Glycerophospholipid (use glycerol, 2 stearic acid, phosphate, and serine for its amino alcohol); 3) Sphingolipid/Sphingophospholipid (use sphingosine, myristic acid, phosphate, and choline for amino alcohol); 4) Glycosphingolipid/Sphingoglycolipid (use sphingosine, stearic acid, and D-galactose); 5) Cholesterol ( use steroid fused ring system with -OH group at C3, double bond at C5, 2 methyl group at C10 & C13, and an 8-Carbon branched side chain at C17)
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
