These are the Essay Questions you will enjoy answering the day of the test :-D

1. Discuss the biological importance of each of the following organic compounds

in relation to cellular structure and function in plants and animals.

a. Carbohydrates

b. Proteins

c. Lipids

d. Nucleic acids

2. Proteins—large complex molecules—are major building blocks of all living

organisms. Discuss the following in relation to proteins.

(a) The chemical composition and levels of structure of proteins.

(b) The roles of proteins in membrane structure and transport of molecules

across the membrane. (Chapter 7 review from Hinton)

3. The physical structure of a protein often reflects and affects its function.

(a) Describe THREE types of chemical bonds/interactions found in proteins. For each type, describe its role in determining protein structure.

(b) Discuss how the structure of a protein affects the function of TWO of the following.

• Muscle contraction (chapter 45.1 preview)

• Regulation of enzyme activity (chapter 8 preview and maybe from freshman year memory)

• Cell signaling (chapter 7 review & 11 preview)

*Number 3 is a $ maker. This shows a "5" in understanding!
