Concept #1: Lipids
Concept #2: Functional Diversity of Lipids
Practice: Amphipathic molecules can interact with both lipids and water because they:
a) Function as nucleic acids.
b) Contain hydrophobic and non-polar groups.
c) Contain polar and hydrophilic groups.
d) Contain non-polar and hydrophilic groups.
e) Function as long-term-energy-storage molecules.
Concept #3: Clutch Prep’s Lipid Map
Practice: Lipids include a wide range of compounds including which of the following?
