Question 1

what type of amino acid is lysine & what’s its functional group?

Answer 1

Lysine is basic -NH3

Question 2

what happens to deltaG when you’re in equilibrium?

Answer 2

When Keq ~ 1.0, deltaG does not change

Question 3

what are the equivalent units for watts

Answer 3

remember that W = J/s

Question 4

simplify “thermal injury occurs when the cooling required to maintain thermal equilibrium exceeds the heat loss to the environment”

Answer 4

when your body needs to cool more than the amount of heat it lost to maintain equilibrium, thermal injury occurs

Question 5

what is hyperthermia

Answer 5

hyperthermia is when body temperature is greatly above normal

Question 6

how do i solve conversion problems?

Answer 6

lay out all that is given and missing, the unit conversions you know. remember it’s okay to round !!

Question 7

what are some cooling processes beyond simple radiation?

Answer 7

processes such as evaporative cooling and “other active, non-radiative heat shedding techniques”

Question 8

what does the body do with heat if ambient temperature decreases? (hint: look throughout passage to see if something indicates relationship between temperature and ambient temperature)

Answer 8

“if ambient temperature is decreasing, then the body will export heat more efficiently (since T4 - Ta4) will be increasing.

Question 9

how can i determine whether or not a molecule is depicted correctly

Answer 9

understand the characteristics of the molecule in the question, and determine which characteristics match

Question 10

what do you name a compound in which the ending is for an ester?

Answer 10

ending for an ester is -oate

Question 11

what is the structure of an aldehyde?

Answer 11

an aldehyde’s structure is RCOH

Question 12

what does epimerization do?

Answer 12

epimerization causes specific rotation of a chiral compound (mutarotation)

Question 13

what is a chiral center?

Answer 13

a chiral center has 4 different substituents

Question 14

why is a beta-carbonyl compound more stable than an alpha-carbonyl?

Answer 14

resonance stabilization

Question 15

how do i not mix up information?

Answer 15

write down facts about each answer choice and compare them

Question 16

what does it mean when metal ions are coordinated in enzyme active sites by carboxylate groups?

Answer 16

coordination of a residue is when the ion experiences equal attractive electrostatic forces from each atom

Question 17

what do electron donors, such as NaBH4, readily react with?

Answer 17

they react with electrophilic sites such as ketones and aldehydes

Question 18

what happens if molecular oxygen is combined with a spark?

Answer 18

it can cause an explosion bc molecular oxygen is highly combustible

Question 19

why does glycine not produce a racemic mixture?

Answer 19

glycine does not produce a racemic mixture bc it does not have a chiral carbon?

Question 20

what is the name for the functional group NH?

Answer 20

an imine

Question 21

what is a phosphodiester link?

Answer 21

a link between the 3’ carbon atom of one (de)oxyribose molecule and the 5’ carbon atom of another (de)oxyribose molecule

Question 22
