Everyone should respond to this prompt
Three things I learned in this chapter is that..my brain is made out of cholesterol o_o..No..really. I learned that there are actually a great variety of lipids and proteins that aid in specific jobs our bodies have to perform. I also noticed that hydrophilic and hydrophobic phospholipids work together to create a net system to keep or pass water. Oh! And the protein called ribose helps to create our very being, DNA. I would say the whole name ..Deoxyneucleicacid or what ever to be smart but I'll stick with the short version. An extra thing that I learned is the structure of Triacylglycerol. It has a main glycerol stub with three carbon chains dangling below. The carbon chains are the fatty acids and such. Anyways..I think I'd like to go into the final few sections of the chapter and understand them better..and learn how the saccharides are named and why.. ^_^
I learned that cellouse is the most abundant molecule in the world,and that lipids are hydrophoic and are not polymers, and also that to make a lipid it takes the process of dehyradtion, which the taking out of the hydrogen atom out of the molecule.
3things learned: I learned that there can be molicules exactly the same but backwords and cant be broken down the same way. I also learnd that fats store energy. finaly I learned that all sugers end in "ose" and yes I really never notised this before.
2 things I want to understand: I want to better understand lipuds. and more about what sugers do
My question: How do you put a window in the side of a cow?
i learned that a phospholipid is a thing in the cell membrane that has a head that is polar and a tail that is nonpolar.steroids are a type of lipid that increase hormones in the body. reserchers put windows in cow stomach to extract a substance from the cow. how to breal bonds. what was the substance they extracted form the cow
I learned that there are many differnt types of sugars & proitens used in a varity of ways, and that when a person has high blood sugar the liver makes a specific chemical that devoures the sugar in the blood and I also learned that when a person has low blood sugar the liver makes insulin that produces more sugar and inserts it into the blood. I would like to learn more about proitens & sugars, and more about chemicals the body uses to codensate for having to littil or to much of somthing.(sorry for any miss speling)
I learned that each cell has 1000s of different kinds of macromolecules. Also, you shouldnt eat brain because brain has LOTS of cholesterol, good and bad! ;) And, because of hydrophobic and hydrophillic phosolipids, our bodies can maintain an equillibrium. They help to get rid of water we dont need, and keep the water we do need. I hope to learn more about DNA and RNA in general. It is very interesting to me, to understand why we are who we are. :)
