1. messenger RNAs (mRNA) contain genetic information to encode a protein
3. ribosomal RNAs (rRNA) are structural and catalytic component of ribosomes, the protein-synthesizing machinery of cells
2. transfer RNAs (tRNA) act as adapters between the mRNA nucleotide code and amino acids during protein synthesis

95Study objectives1. Contrast saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Understand how and why they influence membrane fluidity. Know the general structure of membrane lipids. Know the names of the fatty acids and lipids presented in class. You do NOT need to memorize the structure of the individual fatty acids, ethanolamine, or serine. 2. Compare and contrast bacterial,eukaryal, and archaeal lipids, especially the molecular components and the bonds. More details later.3. What are nucleic acids? Understand that nucleotides are composed of a nitrogenous base (purine or pyrimidine), a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose), and one to three phosphates. Know the structure of the phosphodiester bond. What parts of the nucleotides are connected by the phosphate of the phosphodiester bond? What is meant by the 5' and 3' ends of DNA and RNA?4. Memorize the structure of the nucleotide ATP. This is a very important molecule and we will discuss it in great detail throughout the semester. 5. Know the purines and pyrimidines. Know the number of rings in each. What is the structural difference between thymine (T) and uracil (U)?
