what does ATP look like?
Front
3 phosphates + ribose sugar + adenine
Back
describe the structure of a lipid, does this make them water soluble or insoluble?
Front
lipids are dominated by a hydrophobic region ( lots of C and H ) so they are more water insoluble
Back
What does an amide look like?
Front
C double bond O with a N on the side
Back
What is metabolism?
Front
The sum of all the chemical reactions that occur in the body. Catabolism + anabolism
Back
How cyanide poisoning occurs
Front
HCN produces CN which binds to Fe3+. This prevents Fe3+ from becoming Fe2+ so the electron transport chain is stopped which means you can't make ATP= death.
Back
What does a benzene/ aromatic ring look like?
Front
Hexagon with double bonds all the way around
Back
Describe thalidomide
Front
Thalidomide is a drug that has two enantiomers. one of its enantiomers is an anti- nausea drug. The other is a drug that was given to pregnant woman and caused birth defects. Never approved in US
