Q

Phospholipid Alkanes

A

Make up semi-permeable membranes. Have hydrophilic and hydrophobic components. Enables cells to function

17
Q

Confirmations Def

A

How C rotates around a sigma bond and C align

18
Q

What angle does rotates to form confirmational isomers

A

60 degrees

19
Q

Eclipsed Def

A

Cs overlap. C-s in U shape configuration with bond. Has more energy and thus less thermodynamicallt stable

20
Q

Staggered Def

A

Cs are at 60 degree angles. Cs in S shape configuration. Lower energy stae and thus more thermodynamically stable

21
Q

Chiral Carbons Conditions

A

C must have 4 sigma (saturated) bonds. Bonds must be made with 4 different substituents (as a whole, not just 1 atom)

22
Q

Diffreneces between stereoisomers

A

Have different chemical effects in body. Drugs are mirror images
