When a substance such as sodium chloride is dissolved in water, the ions become completely surrounded by water molecules, forming structures called hydration spheres. When the sodium salt of a fatty acid is mixed with water, the carboxylate group of the molecule becomes hydrated, but the hydrophobic portion of the molecule is poorly hydrated, if at all. Using a circle to represent the carboxylate group and an attached squiggly line to represent the hydrocarbon chain of a fatty acid, draw a picture of how fatty acids interact with water.

Metabolic pathways

Metabolism is defined as the group of life-supporting, enzyme-mediated chemical reactions in organisms. A metabolic pathway is a set of these chemical reactions that involve anabolism (synthesis of complex biomolecules) and catabolism (breakdown of biomolecules into small molecules) that occur inside a cell. Metabolites are the reacting substances, products, and intermediate substances of an enzymatic process that are altered by a series of chemical events catalyzed by enzymes.
