1. Lipids (13 points) A. Olive oil and butter are used as fats in cooking. Olive oil is a liquid at room temperature, but butter is a solid. What are two properties of the fatty acids in butter that make it a solid? B. Draw the structure of a triacylglycerol that contains the following fatty acids: i. C16:0 ii. C12:1 9 iii. C14: 2 9,12 B. Cholesterol is an essential component of cell membranes. i. How does cholesterol decrease membrane fluidity? ii. What is one way that cholesterol increases membrane fluidity? 2. Membrane structure and transport (9 points) A. Integral membrane proteins only have two possible structures. What are they? B. The Na + -K + ATPase uses ATP to move Na + and K + against their concentration gradients. What type of transport is this, and what is the ATP used for?
C. After you eat, your cells take up the glucose that was released during digestion. Explain how glucose is kept in the cell and not transported back across the membrane. 3. Metabolism Overview (7 points) A. Explain how the ratio of low energy molecules to high energy molecules determines whether catabolic or anabolic processes are favored. B. Thioesters are high-energy molecules often used in metabolic reactions. Why are thioesters high-energy molecules as compared to an ester bond? 4. Glycolysis (12 points) A. What are the three fates of glucose-6-phosphate? B. What are the three fates of pyruvate?
5. Glycolysis and Gluconeogenesis. Use the diagram of the pathways below to answer the following questions (19 points) A. Fill in the blanks with the name of the missing enzyme or intermediate (common abbreviations are acceptable). B. Put a star next to the reactions that produce ATP. C. Draw a rectangle around the enzyme(s) that produce NADH. D. Circle the enzyme that is the committed step of glycolysis.
