Shown here are examples of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Explain what is meant by the term saturated fatty acid, and explain, at the molecular level, why saturated fatty acids remain solid at higher temperatures than unsaturated acids do.

Glycine provides structural flexibility in proteins. What is the consequence of this on protein structure?

Glucose-1-phosphate has a ΔG°′ value of −20.9 kJ/mol, whereas that for glucose-6-phosphate is −12.5 kJ/mol. After reviewing the molecular structures of these compounds, explain why there is such a difference in these values.

the membrane solubility of a steroid is higher than the membrane solubility of a carbohydrate true or false?

Based on your knowledge of the natural amino acids, what would you expect pKa of the sidechain of beta-(aminomethyl)succinic acid to be? Draw an appropriate titration curve for beta-(aminomethyl)succinic acid, labeling the axes, indicating the equivalence points and the pKavalues, and use a drawing to show the protonated/deprotonated forms.
