Review Practice Exam Flashcards
Bose-Einstein Principle
states that a collection of atoms cooled close to absolute zero will coalesce into a single quantum state
Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle
states that one cannot know both the momentum and position of an object with absolute certainty
Le Chatelier Principle
states that in a reversible process, the application of stress to the system will cause the system to respond in a way that will relieve the stress
Pauli Exclusion Principle
states that two or more identical electrons cannot occupy the same quantum state
in vivo
within a living organism
in vitro
within a laboratory setting (ie meaning in glass)
Hydrostatic Pressure Formula
is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given force of gravity
pressure = density * gravitational acceleration * depth
What is the molecular formula for a pyrrole?
It is C4H5N. A pyrrole is any class of organic compounds of the heterocyclic series.
alpha carbon
the carbon atom directly bonded to an atom, group, functional group or any other moiety of interest
beta carbon
the carbon atom one removed from an atom, group, functional group or other moiety of interest
Amides
are an essential nitrogen-containing functional group
Cholesterol
is a steroid, which is a part of lipids
Cation-exchange chromatography
separates proteins with different positive charges
Anion-exchange chromatography
separates charges with different negative charges
Detergents
are amphipathic molecules that contain polar or charged hydrophilic groups (heads) at the end of a long lipophilic hydrocarbon groups (tails)
