Polymer Examples
Polyethylene plastic bottles, bags and toys Polypropylene indoor-outdoor carpeting,
molded parts (not heart valves) Polyvinyl chloride vinyl fences, PVC pipes etc. Teflon cooking utensil coating, artificial joints
and electrical insulation Polystyrene toys, Styrofoam and simulated
wood furniture HOW bout’ that????
Saturated FatsSaturated Fats
Single Bonds on Fatty Acid chainSingle Bonds on Fatty Acid chain
palmitic acid
No double bonds present Carbon chain up to 24 in length Dietary effect is increase in blood
cholesterol level
Monosaturated FatsMonosaturated Fats
One Double Bond on Fatty Acid ChainOne Double Bond on Fatty Acid Chain
Oleic Acid
Contain up to 24 carbon atoms One double is present in the carbon chain Dietary effect is little change in blood
cholesterol level
Polyunsaturated FatsPolyunsaturated Fats
Many Double Bonds on Fatty Acid ChainMany Double Bonds on Fatty Acid Chain
Linoleic Acid
Carbon chain length up to 24 2 or more double bonds present Dietary effect is decrease in blood
cholesterol level
Hydrophobic

PhospholipidsPhospholipids
polar (water loving)
two non-polar (water fearing)
Phospholipid BilayerPhospholipid Bilayer
Aligned tail to tail.Hydrophobic region within membrane.Hydrophilic heads on the inner and outer
surfaces of the membrane.
