type: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Steroids are one type of molecule in the class of compounds
known as lipids. Cholesterol, shown at the right, is a steroid,
and plays an important role in membrane formation. Steroids
can be recognized by their multiple rings of carbon atoms
connected together.
Find another steroid paste a
picture and take a screen shot.
How do you recognize it’s a lipid?
Identify its properties.

I can tell it is a lipid because of

the elements that are in the
molecule, carbon, hydrogen,
nitrogen, and sometimes
phosphorus. Also, I can also tell
by the carbon rings connected.
 Nucleic Acids
Through a process called cellular respiration, glucose is broken down and the
terminal phosphates that were removed are added back on to ADP, so these
molecules are continuously recycled by the cell. While nucleotides that are
free floating in the cell’s cytoplasm typically consist of three phosphate
groups, when each is added to a growing molecule of DNA or RNA, the end
two phosphate groups are removed by dehydration synthesis, leaving only
one phosphate group. Which of your cards contains a molecule that looks like
this? DO THIS. FINS A NUCLEOTIDE
AND PASTE IT: Label all parts!
On the molecule of a different nucleotide to
the right, label the phosphate, pentose, and Nitrogenous
nitrogenous base. The single pentose sugar base
and the single phosphate group on each phosphate
nucleotide join with others to form a sugar-
phosphate backbone of a molecule, with the
nitrogenous bases on the interior of the pentose
molecule.
