Included Quiz Questions
Which statement best describes the monomers of a lipid?
- Lipids are nonpolymer macromolecules.
- Glycerol
- Fatty acids
- Hydrocarbons
- Nucleotides
Why are phospholipids amphipathic molecules?
- Due to the presence of a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail in the same molecule
- Due to the presence of hydrophilic tail and head structures in the same molecule
- Due to the presence of a hydrophobic head and a hydrophobic tail in the same molecule

After watching her lectures on molecular and cellular biology, I had a wider view of these subjects. Well integrated, well explained, excelent service!
Love your lectures, Professor. It is helping me a lot reviewing Biology as It's been years since my basic science years.
She talks so clear, understandable.. just a little fast but i havent got bored.. Thank you..
informative. good review for this basic area as it has clinical correlations
