Overview
In the chapter related to molecules and membranes we came across many new things such as the fluid mosaic model. We also had to be able to understand the importance of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. We had to be able to describe the basic structure of the main types of carbohydrates which are the monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides. We also learned about the Alpha and Beta- glucose, saturated & unsaturated fatty acid and lipids. Lastly the Primary,secondary, tertiary structure of the polypeptides.
In the chapter about membranes we had to know the roles of phospholipds, cholesterol,glycolipids, proteins, glycoproteins in membranes. Also we had to be able to describe the effects on animal and plant cells of immersion in solutions of different water potential. Lastly how molecules can get in and out of cells by the process of diffusion, facilitated diffusion, osmosis, active transport,endocytosis, and exocytosis.
