CP Flashcards
lipophilic means
ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats/oil/lipids/nonpolar solvents
i.e. hexane
what makes lidocaine lipophilic
- dominated by large, nonpolar aromatic ring
- alkyl groups
molality equation
m = mol / Kg
molality means
calculating moles of solute per kg of solvent
molarity equation
M = moles / L
molarity means
moles calculated per liter of solution
distinct mark of a fatty acid chain
long alkyl chain + ends in a carboxylic acid
explain alpha decay
atomic nucleus emits alpha particle
daughter is an atom with a mass number 4 less and atomic number 2 less than parents
beta plus decay
aka positron emission
positron emitted from parent nucleus
daughter has 1 less proton
beta minus decay
neutron converts into proton
electron emitted
daughter has atomic number that increases by 1
why would PO4^3- molecules utilize proton-coupled transport mechanisms to enter the cell
PO4^3- is hydrophilic (neg charge ion)
cannot cross hydrophobic interior of membrane
inspiration comes from
initially increasing volume of lungs
pressure gradient created
air pressure in lungs is less than the air pressure in environment
when air pressure gradient is not as great…
less air enters lungs with every breath
difficulty breathing occurs at high altitudes for this reason
how to calculate mechanical work
Fdcos(θ)
surface tension decreases as
temperature rises
when warmer solutions are being ejected sooner, what is the reason
either electrical forces increase or surface tension decreases
why is very unlikely that the lactam in penicilin would covert to an ester
not thermodynamically favorable to transform from a more stable form (amide) to a more reactive one (ester)
due to what reason are beta-lactams more susceptible to nucleophilic attacks than amides?
DUE TO RING STRAIN
positive ions flow down voltage gradients from
high to low voltage
when the voltage inside cell is more negative, sodium ions will
flow passively down the voltage gradient
extracellular concentration of sodium ions is
greater than their intracellular concentration
explain “salty bananas”
extracellular concentration of sodium > intracellular (“salty”)
intracellular concentration of potassium > extracellular (“bananas”)
proteases cleaves…
peptide bonds at the carboxyl terminal of acidic AAs
name the two AAs that are acidic
aspartic acid (Asp) / (D)
glutamic acid (Glu) / (E)
