Study Notes
Atoms and Molecular Weights
- Atom (6C^{12}) has 6 protons, 6 electrons, and 6 neutrons. Incorrect statement: It has 12 neutrons.
- Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) has a molecular weight of 46.
Enzymes and Their Functions
- Enzymes reduce activation energy and are composed of proteins. Incorrect statement: Enzymes increase the number of collisions in reactions.
Water Properties and Reactions
- Water is polar, can dissolve salts, and participates in dehydration reactions. Incorrect statement: Water molecules are formed by hydrolysis.
- Types of bonds:
- Ionic bonds: Example is potassium iodide (KI).
- Hydrogen bonds: Occur between molecules of water.
- Covalent bonds: Hold hydrogen and oxygen in H2O.
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Dehydration synthesis combines glucose and fructose to form sucrose.
- Hydrolysis involves breaking lactose into glucose and galactose.
- Exchange reactions involve HCl and NaHCO3 forming NaCl and H2CO3.
- Reversible reactions can occur, as seen in NH4OH breaking down into NH3 and water.
Biological Molecules
- Glycerol is found in lipids.
- Carbohydrates are composed of (CH2O) units and never contain phosphate groups.
- Proteins contain -NH2 groups and consist of amino acid chains.
- Nucleic acids contain genetic material, while lipids primarily make up cell membranes.
Environmental Microbiology
- To enhance oil-degrading bacteria in oil spills, providing nitrogen and phosphorus is effective.
- Temperature changes require E. coli to increase unsaturated chains in its plasma membrane for adaptation.
Radioisotope Experiments
- After growing Saccharomyces cerevisiae with 35^S, it would mainly be found in proteins.
- With 32^P, it would predominantly be in plasma membranes.
Polymer Structure
- Starch, dextran, glycogen, and cellulose are polymers of glucose.
Acid-Base Chemistry
- NaOH dissociates into Na+ and OH-, classifying it as a base.
- Maltose is formed from two glucose molecules, with a chemical formula of (C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}).
Bacterial Reactions
- Desulfovibrio bacteria oxidize sulfur through the reaction (S_6 \rightarrow S_2).
- Imidazole, an antimicrobial drug, interferes with eukaryotic plasma membranes by inhibiting sterol synthesis.
