A DNA strand has a free phosphate group at one end (called the 5′ end because the phosphate is attached to the carbon-5 position in the ribose) and a free hydroxyl (-OH) group at the other end (called...A DNA strand has a free phosphate group at one end (called the 5′ end because the phosphate is attached to the carbon-5 position in the ribose) and a free hydroxyl (-OH) group at the other end (called the 3′ end because the hydroxyl is attached to the carbon-3 position in the ribose). One of the most remarkable things about DNA is that the quantity of adenine always equals the quantity of thymine and the quantity of guanine always equals the quantity of cytosine.
Glycerolipids are defined, and the difference in composition and properties of fats and oils and their chemical reactions, including hydrolysis, saponification, and hydrogenation is described.
