Explanation / Answer
1. The following skeletal formula represent D-leucine (top) and L-leucine (bottom). Which type of isomers are these two molecules?
ANSWER : They are enantiomers of each other. Enantiomer is a type of isomer in which both forms exist as a non superimposable mirror image of each other.
2 . Complete the following sentence:
ANSWER : When ionic compounds dissociate in water, each ion is surrounded by a sphere of hydration: CATIONS are surrounded by the partially negative charge of the water molecule's OXYGEN; ANIONS are surrounded by the partially positive charge of the water molecule's HYDROGEN.
Reason behind this is 'oppsosite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other'.
3. The plasma membrane of a cell consists of
ANSWER : two layers of lipids organized with the nonpolar tails forming the interior of the membrane
Plasma membrane is the lipid bilayer with polar heads of lipd molecule facing outward and non polar tails are directed inward of bilayer and proteins are spreaded in lipids. Some proteins are present on surface (intrinsic protein) and some are embedded in the lipd bilayer (extrinsic protein).
4. Facilitated diffusion ___ require energy and uses the help of _____
ANSWER : does not , transport protein
Facilitated diffusion the process in which solute move down the concentration gradient i.e. from region of high concentration of sloute to low concentration of solute with the help of a transport protein.
5. Which is not a property of water?
ANSWER : contracts during freezing
Maximum density of water is observed at 40 C. On freezing density of water molecules starts decreasing leading to expansion of volume of water.
