What to look for….. For Proteins look for NH2 and COOH, the test will not have an “R” For Carbohydrates look for a bunch of OH For Lipids look for long hydrocarbon chains (a bunch of carbons surrounded by hydrogens) For Nucleic Acids look for the 3 parts (a ring sugar, a part that has nitrogen, and a part that has phosphorus) THE ANSWERS TO EACH IMAGE ARE IN THE “NOTES” AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH SLIDE WHEN IT IS NOT IN PRESENTATION MODE.
Nucleic Acid
Lipids- Phospholipid
Protein
Carbohydrate. It doesn’t look like how we would normally see them drawn, but look at the functional groups (-OH).
Protein- showing dehydration synthesis
Nucleic Acid
carbohydrate
Nucleic Acid
Carbohydrate- disaccharide
Lipid- phospholipid
protein
Lipid- triglyceride
Carbohydrate- polysaccharide
Nucleic Acid
protein
carbohydrate
Lipid- just the fatty acid tail
Protein
Nucleic Acid
