Chapter 2, Problem 2.3PS
Wrong Again. For each of the following false statements, change the statement to make it true.
(a) Hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon are the elements that can most readily form strong multiple bonds.
(b) Water has a higher specific heat than most other liquids because of its low molecular weight.
(c) Oil droplets in water coalesce to form a separate phase because of the strong attraction of hydrophobic molecules for each other.
(d) In a hydrogen bond, electrons are shared between a hydrogen atom and two neighboring electronegative atoms.
(e) Biological membranes are called selectively permeable because large polar molecules and ions can never pass through them.

Proteins are quite stable. The lifetime of a peptide bond in aqueous solution is nearly 1000 years. However, the free energy of hydrolysis of proteins is negative and quite large. How can you account for the stability of the peptide bond in light of the fact that hydrolysis releases much energy?
Please show the bonds thank you

Justify your answer (explain why hydrophilic vs hydrophobic). (c) Draw the micelle structure for one of the detergents. (d) Why does the detergent form a micelle and not a bilayer? Why do detergents denature proteins and remove grease from your clothing?arrow_forwardDehydration Synthesis and Hydrolysis: Carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids are all synthesized and broken down by the same types of reactions. In dehydration synthesis, a hydrogen ion (H+) from one molecule joins with a hydroxyl group (OH-) from another molecule to form water (H2O), leaving the two molecules bonded to the same oxygen atom. For example, when two molecules of glucose are joined by dehydration synthesis, they form maltose and water (see below). In hydrolysis, complex organic molecules are broken down by the addition of the components of water - H+ and OH-. Both dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis require certain conditions of pH and temperature and the presence of particular enzymes. Briefly compare and contrast the dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis reactions.arrow_forward

Those which are used mostly for energy in the body and are made of ring-like structures are called carbohydrates. A single ringed molecule is a monosaccharide, while a molecule with 2 rings is called a disaccharide. Those made by assembling many rings into chains are called covalent bonds. This macromolecule is made only from the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Another macromolecule made only from these elements lipids. The simplest molecule in this category is called a fatty acid. Three of these can combine with a molecule called glycerol to form a triacylglycerol. A special kind of this macromolecule that includes phosphate and nitrogen is used in cell membranes is called phospholipids. Testosterone and estrogen are another special category of this macromolecule, called hormones. A third macromolecule is based on amino acids. These are made of the…arrow_forward(a).
