Molecules of life

MOLECULES OF LIFE


 At the end of this topic, students should be able to:

1.1 Water

    (a) Explain the structure of water molecule.
         Emphasize on the polarity and the formation of the hydrogen bond.
   (b) Describe the properties of water and its importance: universal solvent, low viscosity, high  specific
         heat capacity, high latent heat of vaporization, high surface tension, maximum density at 4oC.
         Adhesive and cohesive forces should be explained for surface tension.

1.2 Carbohydrate

       polysaccharides. Describe the formation of α-1,4 glycosidic bond. State the types of glycosidic bonds
       found.
 (b) Describe the formation and breakdown of maltose.
 (c) Describe the structures and functions of starch, glycogen and cellulose.

1.3 Lipids

 (b) Describe the structure of fatty acids and glycerols.
 (c) Describe the formation and breakdown of triglycerides.

1.4 Proteins Describe the basic structure and classes of amino acids

 (a) Explain how amino acids are grouped. 4 groups (polar, non-polar, acidic and basic)
 (b) Describe the formation and breakdown of dipeptide.
 (c) Explain primary,secondary,tertiary and quaternary levels of proteins and the
      types of bonds involved. e.g.: tertiary (myoglobin), quaternary (haemoglobin).
 (d) Explain the effect of pH and temperature on the structure of protein.
 (e) Classify proteins according to their structure. Classes of protein should be limited to conjugated,
       fibrous and globular.
