Biochemistry Module 5: Lipids and Membranes - Multiple Choice Questions with Answers, Exams of Advanced Education

Western Washington University (WWU)Advanced Education

A series of multiple-choice questions and answers covering key concepts related to lipids and membranes in biochemistry. It explores the structure, properties, and functions of various lipid classes, including fatty acids, triacylglycerols, phosphoglycerides, sphingolipids, and cholesterol. The questions delve into the composition and characteristics of biological membranes, including the fluid mosaic model, membrane proteins, and the role of lipids in membrane structure and function. This resource is valuable for students studying biochemistry, biology, or related fields.

PUFA - --polyunsaturated fatty acid

  • 2 or more double bonds A ________ is a carboxylic acid that is a structural component of lipids.
  • Amino acid
  • Carotenoid
  • Sphingolipid
  • cholesterol
  • None of the above - --- None of the above A particular lipid is a liquid at room temperature, so it is called a(n) ________.
  • Oil
  • Fat
  • Lipid
  • Membrane
  • Sphingolipid - --- Oil ________ are a class of membrane proteins that are loosely associated with the membrane bilayer.
  • Transmembrane protein
  • Integral protein
  • Channel protein
  • Transport protein
  • Peripheral protein - --- Peripheral protein
  • Ceramide
  • Glucose
  • Sphingolipid
  • Glycerol
  • Phosphoglycerol - --- Glycerol __________ molecules determine blood type in humans.
  • Sphingolipids
  • Triacylglycerols
  • Cholesterol
  • Phosphoglycerides
  • carotenoid - --- Sphingolipids ________ are found in high concentrations in the membranes of the myelin sheath.
  • Fatty acids
  • Cholesterol
  • Triacylglycerols
  • Sphingolipids
  • Vitamin K molecules - --- Sphingolipids In a sphingolipid, the fatty acids are attached at carbon-2 by this type of linkage?
  • Amide linkage
  • An ether linkage
  • An alcohol linkage
  • A peptide linkage
  • Alkyl linkage - --- Amide linkage Membrane proteins:
  • Are sometimes peripheral
  • Are sometimes integral -Are types of lipids
  • Both A and B
  • None of the above - --- Both A and B Peripheral membrane proteins
  • Go all the way through the membrane
  • Can be chemically separated from the membrane
  • Are firmly attached to the membrane
  • Are lipids
  • None of the above - --- Can be chemically separated from the membrane Which statement best describes a general feature of membranes?
  • The membrane breaks easily
  • Individual lipid molecules stay in one place
  • The polar heads face inward

What molecule has four fused rings in its structure?

  • Sphingolipid
  • Carotenoid
  • Triacylglycerol
  • Cholesterol
  • Water - --- Cholesterol In triacylglycerols, fatty acids are attached to glycerol via ______ linkage. -O-CO- -NH- -O-NH- -COO- -C=C- - ---O-CO- A lipid is __________.
  • A fat
  • An oil
  • A molecule that dissolves in a non-polar solvent
  • Is made from isoprene units
  • Is water soluble - --- A molecule that dissolves in a non-polar solvent What is the effect of a double bond on structure of fatty acids? - --Fatty acids with double bonds are referred to as unsaturated fatty acids. Most double

bonds cause the fatty acids to bend or kink about in solution. This bending reduces the packing structure of fatty acids making them more liquid-like. Where in the body are membranes found? - --In the cell. The cell, itself, and the organelles have membranes. What type of lipid contains a ceramide? What is the purpose of this lipid? - -- Sphingolipids contains a ceramide. The purpose of this lipid is to form the structure of membrane bilayers and in the myelin sheath of neurons. They also aid in defining blood type in individuals. What is the most significant chemical difference between triacylglycerols and phosphoglycerides that lead to their different functions? - --Phosphoglycerides have two fatty acid attached to the glycerol. Triacylglycerols have three fatty acids. Phospoglycerides also have a polar head group attached. What is the fluid mosaic model and what feature of the cells does it help us understand? - --The fluid mosaic model helps us understand biological membranes. It describes the fluid, complex nature of the membrane bilayer. Membranes have lipids and proteins in a rich mixture to help the cell survive.
