Which answer best completes the following statement? Cell membranes are comprised in large part of a phospholipid bilayer. The phospholipids that constitute this bilayer have a large, polar head and a long, nonpolar tail. This causes the heads align near each other and towards the exterior aqueous environment. The tails of the phospholipid are , and aggregate in the interior of the bilayer, where they can interact with one another through O a) hydrophilic; London forces O b) hydrophobic; dipole-dipole interactions c) hydrophilic; dipole-dipole interactions d) hydrophobic; London forces

Because of its bat configuration, Batman's body produces excess nitrogen and excretes it as a form of urea, NH2CONH2. The reaction that produces it is the combination of arginine (C6H14N4O2) with the body's water to give urea and ornithine (C5H12N2O2), according to the following reaction: C6H14N4OR2 + H2O → NH2CONH2 + C5H12N2OR2 arginine urea ornithine a. Assuming Batman is a perfect (ideal) machine, his body completely removes the produced urea which is 95 mg of urea; calculate the mass of arginine that must have been used by his body. b. Calculate the mass of ornithine that his body produced. c. If the rest of normal humans are not a perfect machine, it has been established that for this case, the normal human produces 0.0003686 lb of ornithine. What is the reaction efficiency of the normal human body compared to Batman's.

Which of the following statements is incorrect? A. Because like dissolves like, the nonpolar end of the soap molecule can dissolve greasy dirt, and the polar or ionic end of the molecule is attracted by water molecules. B. By saturating the soap solution with NaCl or KCl, the saturation products of the Na+ and K+ salts of fatty acids are exceeded and most of the soap is precipitated, while glycerin dissolves in water. The alkalinity provided by C. HO- damages the leather, making it difficult to remove dirt.D. Soaps are divided into two as hard and soft according to their consistency. Saturated and single-double-bonded fatty acids are used in hard soap making. Mild soap is obtained from fatty acids containing two or three double bonds.
