15. Some molecules that are covalently bonded do not have a difference in charge across the mol-
ecule. These molecules are referred to as nonpolar. What arrangement of electrons would result
in a nonpolar molecule?
16. Some examples of nonpolar molecules include fats, oils, and waxes. How do these substances
interact with water?
17. What prediction would you make about why oil and water interact in the way described above?

- 2. Mixtures of amino acids can be analyzed by first separating the mixture into its components through ion-exchange chromatography. Amino acids placed on a cation-exchange resin containing sulfonate (-SO₁) groups flow down the column at different rates because of two factors that influence their movement: (1) ionic attraction between the sulfonate residues on the column and positively charged functional groups on the amino acids, and (2) hydrophobic interactions between amino acid side chains and the strongly hydrophobic backbone of the polystyrene resin. For each pair of amino acids listed, determine which will be eluted first from the cation-exchange column by a pH 7.0 buffer.

A 70 kg adult could meet her/his entire energy needs for a day by eating 3 moles of glucose (540 g; molecular weight of glucose is 180 g/mol). Each molecule of glucose generates approximately 36 molecules of ATP when oxidized to CO,. The concentration of ATP in cells is about 5mM, and a 70 kg adult has about 25 liters of intracellular fluid. A. Given that the ATP concentration remains constant in cells, calculate how many times per day, on average, each ATP molecule in the body is hydrolyzed and resynthesized. Show calculations.arrow_forward
- 1. Draw the structure of phosphatidic acid. Circle the polar parts of the molecule and box the non-polar parts of the molecule. 2.Based on the structure why would this molecule be a major building block for glycerophospholipids that make up the cell membrane? In your answer include which part of the molecule would be inside the membrane and which one out and why. 3. What specific “effect”would drive your answer to 2?arrow_forward4. Amphiphilic Lipids. Detergents are small amphiphilic molecules that tend to form micelles in water. (a) Draw the structures of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and Triton X-100 (b) For each drawn detergent, indicate which portions (ends) of the molecules are hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Justify your answer (explain why hydrophilic vs hydrophobic). (c) Draw the micelle structure for one of the detergents. (d) Why does the detergent form a micelle and not a bilayer? Why do detergents denature proteins and remove grease from your clothing?arrow_forward1. Draw 8 phospholipid molecules arranged to show how the phospholipids will orient themselves on the surface of the water. This should be a single layer or monolayer. Label the hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of a phospholipid. 2. Now draw 8 phospholipids, arranged so that they are submerged in the water while still maintaining the correct hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. This structure is called a micelle. 3) Draw a structure that is both submerged in water and contains water on the inside. Draw phospholipids oriented to form a cell membrane, with the tails in and the hydrophilic heads out.arrow_forward
