🗑
What larger unit does nucleotides build?   nucleic acids  
🗑
What surrounds all cells (and many viruses?)   a bilayer membrane composed of lipids and proteins  
🗑
What do membranes do?   act as selective barriers; import and export; cell motility; cell signaling;  
🗑
Membranes act as selective barriers between what?   cytoplasm and extracellular environment; and between organelles and the cytoplasm  
🗑
What are phospholipids composed of?   1) Fatty acids 2)Glycerol 3) Phosphate 4) A polar "head"  
🗑
What does "amphipathic" mean?   hydrocarbon tail is hydrophobic and carboxyl group is hydrophilic  
🗑

🗑
What do the double bonds do to the hydrocarbon tail?   "Kinks" it  
🗑
How does a fatty acid link to glycerol?   By removalof H2O which form an"ester" bond

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
