The maximum number of bonds that can be used to connect 2 carbon atoms is ___________. - ANSWER 3 2. The alkyl group formed when a hydrogen is removed from C3H8 is a _____________ radical. - ANSWER Propyl 3. The element with a combining capacity of 2 is ______________. - ANSWER Oxygen 4. __________________ compounds are usually flammable. - ANSWER Organic 5. The functional group -CHO is found in ___________. - ANSWER Aldehydes 6. When the alkane hexane loses a hydrogen atom, it forms the alkyl group/radical with the formula - ANSWER C6H13 7. The ________________ for a ketone is R-CO-R. - ANSWER General Formula 8. Alkenes are the unsaturated hydrocarbons with the general molecular formula CnH2n-2. T/F - ANSWER False 9. A molecular formula expresses the number of atoms of each element found in a particular compound, as well as the arrangement of those atoms within the compound. T/F - ANSWER False 10. The ______________ formula for formaldehyde is HCHO. - ANSWER Line 11. _______________________ are atoms of the same element that have different atomic masses because they have different number of neutrons. - ANSWER Isomers 12. the amount of co-injection fluid should never exceed the amount of concentrated arterial fluid. T/F - ANSWER True 13. the main difference between co-injection fluid and pre-injection fluid is the time of injection. T/F - ANSWER True 14. these fluids contain unusually large amounts of moisture-retaining agents. - ANSWER Restorative 15. these fluids purpose is to retain body moisture and retard dehydration. - ANSWER Restorative 16. _______-based fluid are frequently used as restorative fluids. - ANSWER Lanolin 17. this type of special purpose fluid: - low index arterial fluids - that contain a concentration of formaldehyde low enough to prevent the conversion of bilirubin to biliverdin which will turn the body green. - ANSWER Jaundice 18. this type of special purpose fluid: - masking agent - contains a medium concentration of formaldehyde and cosmetic dyes to mask the yellow of bilirubin. - ANSWER Jaundice 19. this type of special purpose fluid: - bleaching fluids - contain medium formaldehyde content and chemicals that will have a lightening or bleaching effect on the yellow color of bilirubin. These chemicals, which are usually in an alcohol medium, oxidize the discoloration and include peroxides, citric acid, and phenols. - ANSWER Juandice 20. this type of special purpose fluid: - non-formaldehyde fluids - contain no preservatives. They are designed to remove the discolorations by flushing them from the tissues and vascular system. - ANSWER Jaundice 21. this type of special purpose fluid: - coupling-compound system - combines a chemical with bile pigment to decolorize the pigment. - ANSWER Jaundice 22. Enzymes - ANSWER 1. Are produced by all living organisms and their activities occur chiefly in, but are not limited to living matter. 2. It is through the action of ___________ that the decomposition process of autolysis occurs. 3. Since _________ are proteins that function as organic catalysts, the best-known role of proteins in the cell is their duty as _________. 4. Catalyze chemical reactions and almost all processes in the cell need them in order to occur at significant rates. 5. Accelerate but DO NOT START chemical reactions 23. Catalysts - ANSWER 1. Decrease the activation or threshold energy of a chemical reaction. This is the energy that must be overcome, or the minimum energy that is necessary for a specific chemical reaction to occur. 2. By doing this enzymes dramatically accelerate the rate of a reaction. 3. Most enzyme reaction rates are thousands if not millions of times faster than those of comparable un____________ reactions. 4. Participate in reactions but are neither reactants nor products of the reaction they catalyze; they remain unchanged when the reaction is finished. 24. Protein Constitution - ANSWER 1. Property of Enzymes 2. Enzymes possess physical and chemical properties similar to proteins 3. However one significant difference is that proteins are crystalloidal in nature and therefore are capable of passing through a semi-permeable membrane, whereas ENZYMES ARE COLLOIDAL l and therefore cannot pass through semi-permeable membranes. EXAMPLE: digestive enzymes do not pass into the bloodstream along with the catalyzed substrates they worked on but remain in the digestive tract to continue their function. 25. Specificity - ANSWER 1. Enzymes are extremely selective for their substrates and speed up only a few reactions from among many possibilities. 2. Since enzymes are usually highly specific catalysts they accelerate only one or a few chemical reactions. 3. Each enzyme acts on a single SUBSTRATE and the shape of the enzyme must be complementary to that of its substrate so they may interact. EXAMPLE: If an enzyme is a member of the Protease family its substrate is protein, and will not act on carbohydrates which require carbohydrase. Lipids would require a lipase enzyme. 26. Substrate - ANSWER 1. Molecules at the beginning of a reaction with enzymes. 2. Shape must be complementary to the Enzyme for them to interact. 27. Active Site - ANSWER 1. The region of the enzyme that binds the substrate and contains the catalytic residues. 2. Although enzymes can consist of hundreds of amino acids, it is usually only a small fraction of the residues that come in contact with the substrate and an even smaller fraction - 3-4 residues on average - that are directly involved in catalysis. 3. Only a very small quantity of enzymes are required to catalyze a large substrate.
