Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Structure of estrogen and androgen has to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Group of lipids that consist of 1 five-membered ring and 3 six-membered rings in its skeleton structure are called steroids. Steroids differ with each other in terms of the attachment of the substituent and thus this changes their identity.
(b)
Interpretation:
Similar structural features of estrogen and androgen have to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Difference in structure of estrogen and androgen has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
Biological activity of estrogen and androgen has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- Draw the hydrogen bonding that takes place between(a) two molecules of ethanol.(b) two molecules of propylamine.(c) a molecule of dimethyl ether and two molecules of water.(d) two molecules of trimethylamine and a molecule of water.arrow_forwardDraw structures corresponding to these names:(a) 4-Methylpentanamide (b) N-Ethyl-N-methylpropanamidearrow_forwardDraw the structures of (a) ethanamine and (b) trimethylamine. Use dashed lines to show how they would form hydrogen bonds to water molecules.arrow_forward
- Indicate whether each statement is true or false: (a) Fat molecules contain amide bonds. (b) Phosphoplipids can be zwitterions. (c) Phospholipids form bilayers in water in order to have their long hydrophobic tails interact favorably with each other, leaving their polar heads to the aqueous environment.arrow_forwardA) Write an equation for the synthesis of aspirin and give the names of the reactants and products. B) How many aspirin tablets can I prepare from 261 grams of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA)? Remember that the commercial aspirin tablet contains 325 mg ASA. C) What functional group of aspirin causes irritation to the lining of the stomach?arrow_forwardDraw the condensed formula or skeletal structural formula for the following compounds: (a) 2,3-dimethylpentanoic acid (b) Ethyl pentanoate (c) N,N-dimethyl-1-propanaminearrow_forward
- How do amines differ from analogous alcohols in (a) odor,(b) basicity, and (c) boiling point?arrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE (a) There are three amines with the molecular formula C3H9N. (b) Aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters all contain a carbonyl group. (c) A compound with the molecular formula of C3H6O may be either an aldehyde, a ketone, or a carboxylic acid. (d) Bond angles about the carbonyl carbon of an aldehyde, a ketone, a carboxylic acid, and an ester are all approximately 109.5°. (e) The molecular formula of the smallest aldehyde is C3H6O, and that of the smallest ketone is also C3H6O. (f) The molecular formula of the smallest carboxylic acid is C2H4O2.arrow_forwardFats belong to the class of organic compounds represented by the general formula, RCOOR', where R and R' represent hydrocarbon groups. What is the name of the functional group present in fats? What functional group is common to all saponifiable lipids?arrow_forward
- Fats belong to the class of organic compounds represented by the general formula, RCOOR', where R and R' represent hydrocarbon groups; therefore, fats are: a. ethers. b. soaps. c. esters. d. lipases.arrow_forwardWrite both condensed and line structures for (a) the ester formed when butyric acid reacts with cyclopentanol, (b) the amide formed when isopropyl amine is reacted with butyric acid, and (c) the amide formed when diethylamine is reacted with butyric acid.arrow_forward¨ What other types of analgesics are on the market? How does their action compare with aspirin and why are these alternative drugs necessary? Discuss the differences among the following compounds by drawing their structures: Acetylsalicylic acid, Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), Ibuprofen, Paracetamol and Phenacetin.arrow_forward
