Task 9: Self-reflection on Lipid

Learning unit 13 is talking about the fatty acids and lipids. Lipids are biomolecules which soluble in organic solvents. It contains hydrocarbon side chain, which serve as energy store. When it performs in the bilayer form, it is essential component of biological membranes. It also plays role as intra and intercellular signaling molecules. There are… Continue reading Task 9: Self-reflection on Lipid

Task 8: Self-Reflection on Carbohydrates

From this learning unit, I learnt that carbohydrates are the most abundant biological molecules in the body. Its empirical formula is Cn(H2O)n, which also known as hydrates of carbon. The main functions of carbohydrates are used to store energy in the form of starch and glycogen, acts as structural components such as cellulose and chitin.… Continue reading Task 8: Self-Reflection on Carbohydrates

Task 2: Interaction between salt with water molecules

Here is our group video to explain interactions between H2O molecules and  salt (NaCl) when it dissolved in the water. Please wear your earphone and enjoy our video with your best mooooooood... https://youtu.be/vql34F5QrCw https://youtu.be/vql34F5QrCw Before I did this task, I only know that salt can dissolve in water without knowing any theory behind it. After… Continue reading Task 2: Interaction between salt with water molecules

Task 6: Mind-maps of vitamins

According to U.S. National Library of Medicine, vitamins are a group of substances that are needed for normal cell function, growth, and development. There are 13 essential vitamins. This means that these vitamins are required for the body to work properly. Vitamins are grouped into two categories: a) Water soluble vitamins They are not stored… Continue reading Task 6: Mind-maps of vitamins

Task 3: Non-covalent Interactions

A non-covalent interaction differs from a covalent bond in that it does not involve the sharing of electrons, but rather involves more dispersed variations of electromagnetic interactions between molecules or within a molecule.  There are 4 types of non-covalent bonding such as hydrophobic interaction, hydrogen bonding, ionic bond, and Van der Waals force.

Task 4: Mind Map of common structure of amino acid and different structures of proteins

Amino acid is a compound that contains both an amino group and a carboxyl group. It has both base and acid properties, while it is zwitterionic. At pH7, amino group is protonated and carboxylic group is unprotonated. Amino acids can be grouped according to various characteristics of R groups. The groups of amino acid can… Continue reading Task 4: Mind Map of common structure of amino acid and different structures of proteins
