    Study Notes

    Biochemistry

    • The protein thiogalactoside transacetylase is encoded by the gene LacZ
    • The enzyme phosphoglycerokinase catalyzes the formation of 3-phosphoglyceric acid from 1,3-diphosphoglyceric acid, a process known as substrate level phosphorylation.
    • During DNA replication, helicase separates the parental strands of DNA.
    • In a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), the function of helicase is achieved by the high temperature used during the process.
    • Adenosine 3´,5´-cyclic nucleotide monophosphate (cAMP) acts as a second messenger for many regulatory molecules
    • cAMP acts as an intracellular second messenger in neurons.
    • cAMP activates specific cyclic nucleotide dependent protein kinases.
    • Deficiency of vitamin A in humans leads to night blindness.

    Genetics

    • In cats, white skin is dominant over gray, black eye is dominant over gray, and curl tail is dominant over straight.
    • A cat homozygous for white skin, gray eye, curl tail mating with another cat homozygous for white skin, black eye, straight tail will result in 100% F1 generation with white skin, black eye, curl tail phenotype.

    Environmental Science

    • CO2 and CH4 are the greenhouse gases with the highest contribution towards global warming.

    Organic Chemistry

    • The compound CH3CH2CO2H is soluble in aqueous NaOH but not in aqueous NaHCO3.
    • Ozonolysis of an alkene followed by reaction with concentrated NaOH and aqueous acid produces two carbonyl compounds.
    • E2 elimination reaction of 2-bromo-3-methylbutane produces 2-methyl-2-butene.

    Physical Chemistry

    • The most reactive diene towards the Diels-Alder reaction is cyclopentadiene.
    • The structure of pyrophosphorus acid is (HO)2P(O)OP(O)(OH)2
    • The complex cis-[Co(en)2Cl2]+ exhibits optical isomerism.

    Physics

    • The waves y1 = A sin (ωt + kx) and y2 = A cos (ωt + kx) have a phase difference of π/2.
    • The time period of oscillation of a spring-mass system depends on the mass of the object attached. Heavier objects result in longer periods, so TCu>TG>TW
    • In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved.
    • Heat flow rate through different layers of a composite slab depends on the thermal conductivity and thickness of each layer.
    • An H-atom in the 1st excited state returning to the ground state emits UV radiation.
    • A body at 600 K emits infrared radiation.
    • Fusion of two light nuclei emits γ rays.
    • The magnitude of the induced emf in a conducting wire moving in a magnetic field is given by the equation |ε|=Blv, where B is the magnetic field strength, l is the length of the wire, and v is the velocity of the wire.
    • The horizontal range of a projectile launched at an angle θ with initial velocity v is given by the equation R=(v^2sin2θ)/g, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
    • The magnetic field due to an infinite straight wire carrying current I at a distance r from the wire is given by the equation B=(μ0I)/(2πr).
    • The mass of an object is independent of the gravitational field.

    Mathematics

    • The eccentricity of the ellipse x2/16+y2/9=1 is 7/4
    • If the statement "If the flower smells sweet, then I will buy it," is false, it means the flower smells sweet and I did not buy it.
    • The sample median is 3.5 for the given data.
    • The equation of the normal to the curve x2y3 = 4 at the point (2, 1) is 5y = 3x - 1.
