- Glycoproteins contain oligosaccharide chains covalently bonded to a polypeptide while proteoglycans have one or more glycosaminoglycan chains attached to the protein. True Falsearrow_forwardIdentify the structures shown as glycerophospholipids or sphingolipids.arrow_forwardState the structural similarities and differences of cellulose and amylose.arrow_forward
- Hemoglobin is a tetramer consisting of two a and two b chains. What level of protein structure is described in the above statement?arrow_forwardDraw structures showing the reaction of glycerol with linoleic acid to form the triglyceride trilinolean. Would you expect this triglyceride to be a fat or an oil?arrow_forwardCellulose and glycogen are both polymers of glucose, but they have very different functions. Select all of the statements below that are true (this is a multi-select question). One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that the cellulose has a(1→6) branches, which greatly increases the "connectiveness" within the structure. One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that cellulose is a B(14) linked glucan, while glycogen is an a(1→4) linked glucan. The major cause of the functional difference is that glycogen is stored in the cytosol, whereas cellulose is a component of the cell walls. Cellulose is flexible due to the noncovalent interactions between the B(1-4) linked strands of glucose: the polymer can bend without breaking covalent bonds. Cellulose is more "stretchy" than glycogen, since its structure is held together only by the relatively weak hydrogen bonds.arrow_forward
- arrange the following lipids in order of decreasing polarity: cholesterol, triglyceride, estradiol, fatty acid, phosphatidyl cholinearrow_forwardHemoglobin is a tetramer consisting of two α and two β chains.What level of protein structure is described in this statement?arrow_forwardDraw the skeletal structure of a triacylglycerol that contains three molecules of caprylic acid. Note: Reference the Selected fatty acids table for additional information. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forward
- Using skeletal structures, draw the structure of a simple triacylglyceride containing 1 eicosapentanoic acid, 1 myristic acid and 1 oleic acid residues, with label.arrow_forwardDraw the skeletal structure of a triacylglycerol that contains three molecules of capric acid. Note: Reference the Selected fatty acids table for additional information. Click and drag to start drawing a structure.arrow_forwardWhat is the molecular weight of a linear polysaccharide consisting of 7 galactose monomers and 1 terminal glucose monomer? The molecular weight of glucose (C6H12O6) is 180.156 g/mol. Remember that the types glycosidic of linkages are irrelevant for calculating the molecular weight. Write your answer in terms g/mol.arrow_forward
