Early in the course we spent time talking about carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. All of these are synthesized through condensation reactions.
A. What is a condensation reaction?
B. Why do condensation reactions require energy? Use concepts such as potential energy and entropy in your answer.
C. Describe the link between spontaneous/nonspontaneous reactions and energy.

A mixture of propionic and n-butyric acids, which can be assumes to form ideal solutions, is to be separated by distillation a distillate containing 95 mol% propionic acid and a bottoms of 98 mol% n-butyric acid. Determine the type of condenser and estimate the distillation operating pressure. The normal boiling point for propionic acid is 141 C and n-butyric is 163.5 C.

1.Determine the number of moles of ATP that can be synthesized from one mole of CH3(CH2)22COOH. (Show all your work.)
2.Why does the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid require additional enzymes? How does the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond change the total number of ATP that can be produced?

1. Explain how the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin can affect the followings:
1.1 Amino acid substitutions that disrupt H-bonding at the α,β-interface
1.2 Substitution L136P, which destabilizes the subunit interactions
1.3 Disease in which the individual has increased levels of fetal hemoglobin
1.4 Consumption of methanol that causes a drop in blood pH (Metabolic acidosis)

Suppose a gene can suffer one of two types of deletion mutation. One mutation deletes 2 nucleotides in a row. The other mutation deletes 3 nucleotides in a row.
Which mutation will have the most impact following translation and why?
To support your answer, write out an example mRNA sequence and show the effects of each mutation on the corresponding amino acid sequence.

Is functional group (hydroxyl, amino, sulfhydryl, phosphate, carboxyl) acidic or basic? Can you explain it really easy like how do you know which one is more basic? I have to explain it to a person who is not majoring in this stuff. Also, is there any real world application that we use functional groups to increase/ decrease acidity? or any similar situation?

Due to the wobble hypothesis, which position in the codon, if changed to a different nucleotide, would be least likely to cause a change in the amino acid encoded? The codon is in the mRNA.
a) first or 5' nucleotide of the codon
b) second (middle) nucleotide of the codon.
c) any nucleotide of the codon.
d) Either the first (5') or second (middle) nucleotide of the codon.
e) third or 3' nucleotide of the codon .
