Identify general features of the common classes of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, nucleotides and amino acids. [BIOC 1040] [BIOC 2300]
Describe the structural features of monosaccharides and be able to depict them; describe the linkages that join monosaccharides to form larger molecules; identify some of the main polysaccharides that occur in nature. [BIOC 2300] Explain how lipids form membranes and lipoproteins and influence their function, and list different transport mechanisms across membranes. [BIOC 2300] Outline the major metabolic pathways by which biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids) are synthesized, degraded and transported, and identify the key points at which these pathways are regulated.
