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)
what would have the largest decrease in entropy? melting, condesation, sublimation or deposition?
deposition
goes from highest to lowest entropy
sublimation goes from
solid to gas (low to high entropy)
liquid exhibit a small or large change in volume when temperature increases
small
gases exhibit what kind of change with temperature increase
large
heat of fusion and heat of vaporization do not involve a
phase change
liquids are more what compared to vapors
ordered
smaller entropy
ideal gas law solely pertains to
gases
heat (q) =
mc Δ T
equation for heat required to vaporize liquid
mΔHvap
Intensity (I) =
P/A (Power/Area)
Power (P) =
IA
relationship between power and energy
P = W/t
energy received by ear
W = Pt = IAt
Doppler effect shifts
frequency
cannot dampen sounds
fundamental rules of waves is that frequency does not…
change when wave travels from medium to another
having a different medium b/w air and ear wouldn’t change the frequency
constructive interferences would increase or decrease intensity of sounds
INCREASE
destructive interference can occur by adding wave energy out of phase with…
the incoming sound
decreasing amplitude
which of the following have no charge?
alpha particles
proton beams
gamma photons
beta particles
gamma photons
magnetic fields exert forces on
moving charged particles
do magnetic fields have any effect on photons?
no b/c they have no chart
terminal species in the ETC
oxygen
NADH donates its electrons to
the first electron carrier in the ETC
product of NADH oxidation
NAD+
NAD+ has what electron affinity
LOW
FADH2 enters ETC by
donating its electron directly to CoQ
oxidized FAD will have a lower or higher affinity than CoQ?
LOWER
saponification is the
basic hydrolysis of ester bonds in a triglyceride
what do liver enzymes employ to produce bile acids?
oxidation by adding new carboxylic acid that contains 3 new bonds to oxygen atoms
what contributes to the fact that the small intestine cannot passively absorb bile salts?
1) taurine and glycine have low pKa values
2) pancreatic secretions increase intestinal pH
how do pancreatic secretions increase intestinal pH?
pancreatic secretions contain bicarbonate (a base) which raises the pH
lipase works to hydrolyze which functional group?
ester
sources of degrees of unsaturation
rings and multiple bonds
shorter wavelengths equate to photons of
larger energies
excited state and ground state have the same
overall charge (no electron transfer)
once in the excited state, the molecule can…
relax a bit of its energy as heat
before losing what’s left of its energy as an emitted photon
nucleophilicity increases going which way on the periodic table?
down
due to greater size/polarizability
stronger nucleophile slows or speeds up reaction?
speeds up
a cyclic sugar w/ 5 atoms in the ring is in what form?
furanose form
D-sugar has an R or S configuration?
R configuration at the last stereocenter
L sugar has what configuration?
S configuration
lipases are produced by the
pancreas
liver is responsible for
regulation of carbohydrate metabolism (glycogenolysis, glycogenesis, gluconeogenesis)
deamination of AA and conversion of resulting ammonia to urea
lipid metabolism (cholesterol and lipoprotein synthesis)
torque =
Fd sin θ
F = force creating torque
d = distance from force to rotation point
θ = angle between F and d
define centripetal force
force pointing into center of the circle
how do crown ether molecules affect polarity?
don’t significantly affect polarity of an ether solvent
will be miscible with it
crown ether molecules don’t contain any protic hydrogens to….
hydrogen bond w/ the solvent
