Random Q's Flashcards
When will a solid precipitate from solution?
When it exceeds Ksp
Which is smaller? A sodium cation or a chloride anion?
Sodium cation
Im assuming that they are trying to point out that the cation will have fewer electrons, therefore increasing the Zeff felt by the remaining electrons.
What is the pH of a solution with a 1x10-5 [H+]?
5
Difference between a reducing sugar and a non-reducing sugar?
- Hemiacetal group = reducing
- NO Hemiacetal group = non-reducing

What 3 things needed for a functional ultrasound?
- frequency of wave when the source is stationary
- speed of source
- speed of detector
How is it than organic acid partially dissociates in pure water, but fully dissociates in blood?
HA(aq) ⇔ H+(aq) + A-(aq)
The equilibrium concentration of H+ is maintained at a low value. Forcing the acid to dissociate via le chatelier’s principle.
What are the characteristics of a suitable primer for PCR?
- High GC content
- G or C at each end
If the level of a transport protein increased, how would the Km be affected?
- It would not change.
lol.
for real.
stop shaking your head.
If carbonic anhydrase were inhibited in the blood buffer equation, the concentration of ________ would increase.
CO2 + H2O ⇔ H2CO3 ⇔ H+ + HCO3-
CO2
How would cocaine (a stimulant) influence your metabolism?
It is a stimulant, so this would act like stress, increasing glucose metabolism.
What concept is described in the picture shown?

Demographic Transition Theory
This theory describes a country undergoing economic development. it shows a drop in death rates at first, followed by a decrease in birth rates.
Does shifting light away from the fovea always decrease acuity?
NO!
What if it’s dark outside? You would want to move away from the fovea to utlize more rods bruh..
What is the purpose of fMRI?
Monitor brain activity via blood flow
For schizophrenia, define each of the following:
- (+) symptoms
- (-) symptoms
- Gain of inappropriate behaviors and emotion
- Ex) Delusions (false belief), Hallucinations (false senses)
- Absence/Loss of appropriate behaviors and emotion
- Ex) Avolition (flattened affect), Aphagia (speech loss)
Negative priming requires which type of memory?
Implicit Memory
First-line drugs for schizophrenia are _________. Which can potentially exacerbate (-) symptoms while improving (+) symptoms.
Neuroleptics
What cognitive changes do schizophrenia and alzheimer’s (dementia) have in common?
- Loss in cognitive ability, especially in :
- verbal fluency
- negative priming
True or False:
A solution saturated with solute is at equilibrium.
True
system no longer changes with time
True or False:
Chemical equilibrium applies to a system in which the k is zero order, so no matter how much of a reactant you add, the rate does not change.
False
<em>k </em>refers to rate constant, whereas Chemical equilibrium (<em>Keq)</em> refers to the equilibrium constant.
For each Major Sociological theory, provide the name of the people who created it:
- Functionalism
- Conflict theory
- Symbolic Interactionism
Bonus Q: What general type of long-term memory retrieval did you use to answer this card?
- Durkheim
- Marx, Weber
- Mead
Explicit memory [more specifically, semantic memory]
Which sub-type of Long Term Memory is used for the retrieval of the following?
- Capital of France.
- When I first got stabbed.
- *The act of riding a bike*
- *Providing the answer for the above bullet points*
This flash card improved the _____-_____ ______ of your dendrites.
- Semantic [fact]
- Episodic [you]
- Implicit [how-to]
- Semantic [fact]
Long-term potentiation
For the following reaction, state whether products, reactants or neither side will be favored? Assume it’s at Eq inside of a secure, leak-proof container.
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ⇔ 2 NH3 (g) ∆H = - 50 kj
- Increase N2
- Increase NH3
- Increase volume
- Increase pressure
- Increase temperature
- Add an Inert gas [Ar for example]
- Add a catalyst
- Products
- Reactants
- Reactants
- Products
- Reactants
- Neither side; Remains at Eq
- Neither side; Remains at Eq
Volume and pressure changes only apply to gases. If the pressure on the system increases, it will shift to side with less mols of stuff.
How fast will an Open System reach equilibrium when compared with a Closed System?
Only the closed system will reach equilibrium.
No new reactants, products or temperature can be influencing the system to reach equilibrium. [pg.202 gchem]
The recessive allele for cystic fibrosis is strongly selected against in society because they die prematurely. The allele takes many generations to decrease in a population, why is this the case?
Natural Selection acts on phenotypes, not genotypes.
