Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether triacylglycerol is incorporated into the lipid layer.

Introduction: Triacylglycerol, also called triglyceride is an ester that is a main constituent of body fat as well as vegetable fat. It is derived from glycerol and three fatty acids.

Summary Introduction

To determine: If triacylglycerol is incorporated into the lipid layer, then which part of the molecule would face the interior of the bilayer and which would face the water on either side of the bilayer.

Introduction: Triacylglycerol is also known as triacylglyceride or triglyceride. It is an ester that is derived from glycerol and three fatty acids. In the humans and in other animals, it is an important constituent of body fat. It is a major component of the human skin oils.

Summary Introduction

To determine: If triacylglycerol is not incorporated into the lipid layer, then what sort of structure would these molecules form in the aqueous environment inside a cell.

Introduction: Triacylglycerol are the lipids, which contain three fatty acids attached to the three carbons of a glycerol molecule by an ester bond.

Using quail and chicken embryos, what kind of experiment would you conduct to test if rib forming somites have their axial identity specified before segmentation? How do we know this phenotype is due to axial identity being specified before segmentation and not due to our experimental method?
8. Aerobic respiration of a 5 mM solution of tripeptide that is composed of the following three amino acids; alanine, leucine and isoleucine. Alanine breaks down to pyruvate, leucine breaks down to Acetyl-CoA and isoleucine breaks down to succinyl-CoA.

9. Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. fatty acids glycerol 18 carbons 12 carbons 0=
