Step 1
Glycerol is typically represented as a three-carbon structure with each carbon attached to hydroxyl groups (OH). In the structural formula (part b), locate the three carbons connected in a row, each bonded to an OH group. Label this part of the molecule as Show more…

Pick a phospholipid and draw the molecular structure. Describe why it is amphipathic. Label polar head group and hydrocarbon tail. Label hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of the molecule. Draw a liposome and a micelle. Which molecules typically make these structures? What are common uses of detergents? Where do you find membranes? Where are membranes made in the cell? How is phospholipid polarity established? What is the carbohydrate layer? Which molecules are in the carbohydrate later?

This is the chemical structure and space filling model for a phospholipid: 1. Which part of the phospholipid is hydrophobic (hates water) and which part is hydrophilic (loves water?) (1 pt) 2. Based on this diagram, use balls and sticks (balls represent the head, and sticks represent the tails) and draw a representation of a phospholipid bilayer membrane (a cell membrane) (1 pt)
