Q

backterial oil digestion of alkanes

A

NADHO2 adds an alcholol group to the end of an alkane, which is converted into an aldehyde, then a carboxylic acid. Then the CoA enzyme creates a new double bond. a new OH group attacks that bond to form a ketone, and CoA attacks again forming a new carboxyilic acid, removing the end and starting the process all over again

Q

Effects of oil spills

A

Aromatic compounds are highly toxic and highly water soluble, the oil also ruins bird insulation, causing them to die of hypothermia or direct ingestion during preening.

Alkanes

A

Long chains of carbons with no functional groups, tend to evaporate/volitize, smallest first.

19
Q

aromatics

A

compounds with conjugated systems of pi bonds, usualy in a ring. Very soluble in water and very toxic

Q

dissolution

A

dissolving of oils into water, depends on how well they dissolve.
