What 2 functional groups react to form an amide and what is the other product?  [blank1] + [blank2] –> amide + [blank3] 

Explain why the saponification of triglycerides make good soaps? What functional groups are in the triglyceride molecules and what is the reculting soap molecule? Why does the soap work to eliminate dirts and oils?

Classify the TYPE of the reaction shown below. 

What is the correct coefficient “x” in the unbalanced chemical reaction below? __ NaOH + __H2SO4

CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) are transcribed by bacterial cells, but do not immediately begin being translated, like most other bacterial genes. Compared to normal bacterial mRNA, what would crRNAs lack that prevent them from being translated?

Given that a particular triplet of bases in the template sequence of DNA is 5’-ACT-3’, indicate which of the following corresponds to the anticodon of the tRNA that binds to the mRNA codon.

ProRS (the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase specific for proline) occasionally adds an alanine onto tRNA instead of proline. What would be the consequence during translation if this error was not corrected?

Name the following ketone and write its condensed formula (don’t worry about subscripts CH3CH3….etc ) is fine….   

Explain how the process of hydrogenation (or partial hydrogenation) could turn vegetable oil (an UNSATURATED fatty acid) into margarine (a SATURATED fatty acid).  In order to receive full credit- indicate (1) what does it mean to be saturated or unsaturated (2) how does one convert to the other (what chemical process) and (3) why it would be a liquid or solid based on the interactions (IMFs) between the molecules. 

When studying the promoter region of a certain gene in rabbits, you observe that the DNA is highly methylated. You would expect this gene to
