CHEM 120 WEEK 7 DISCUSSION QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS
CHEM 120 Week 7 DQ 1 – Carbohydrate, Lipid, and Protein Structures
Carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins! Take a look around your home. Describe an example of a
carbohydrate, lipid, and/or protein found in your home. Let’s see how many different examples
can be described.
CHEM-120 Week 7 DQ 2 – Nucleic Acid Structure and Flow of Genetic Information
In the news, we often hear examples of how DNA or the transfer of genetic information
impacted someone’s life. Examples range from DNA fingerprinting to genetically engineered
organisms to an individual with a genetic disease. In each of these scenarios, the structure of
nucleic acids and the flow of genetic information through mRNA to protein are involved.
