Sana - CP - Flashcards
what type of amino acid is lysine & what’s its functional group?
Lysine is basic -NH3
what happens to deltaG when you’re in equilibrium?
When Keq ~ 1.0, deltaG does not change
what are the equivalent units for watts
remember that W = J/s
simplify “thermal injury occurs when the cooling required to maintain thermal equilibrium exceeds the heat loss to the environment”
when your body needs to cool more than the amount of heat it lost to maintain equilibrium, thermal injury occurs
what is hyperthermia
hyperthermia is when body temperature is greatly above normal
how do i solve conversion problems?
lay out all that is given and missing, the unit conversions you know. remember it’s okay to round !!
what are some cooling processes beyond simple radiation?
processes such as evaporative cooling and “other active, non-radiative heat shedding techniques”
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)
“if ambient temperature is decreasing, then the body will export heat more efficiently (since T4 - Ta4) will be increasing.
how can i determine whether or not a molecule is depicted correctly
understand the characteristics of the molecule in the question, and determine which characteristics match
what do you name a compound in which the ending is for an ester?
ending for an ester is -oate
what is the structure of an aldehyde?
an aldehyde’s structure is RCOH
what does epimerization do?
epimerization causes specific rotation of a chiral compound (mutarotation)
what is a chiral center?
a chiral center has 4 different substituents
why is a beta-carbonyl compound more stable than an alpha-carbonyl?
resonance stabilization
how do i not mix up information?
write down facts about each answer choice and compare them
what does it mean when metal ions are coordinated in enzyme active sites by carboxylate groups?
coordination of a residue is when the ion experiences equal attractive electrostatic forces from each atom
what do electron donors, such as NaBH4, readily react with?
they react with electrophilic sites such as ketones and aldehydes
what happens if molecular oxygen is combined with a spark?
it can cause an explosion bc molecular oxygen is highly combustible
why does glycine not produce a racemic mixture?
glycine does not produce a racemic mixture bc it does not have a chiral carbon?
what is the name for the functional group NH?
an imine
what is a phosphodiester link?
a link between the 3’ carbon atom of one (de)oxyribose molecule and the 5’ carbon atom of another (de)oxyribose molecule
what is a polycylic aromatic (hydrocarbon) compound?
an organic compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen, and is composed of multiple aromatic rings
how do you produce phosphorylated ribose (C5H10O5)?
a phosphorylated version can be produced via the pentose phosphate pathway
