Question

Which of the following is a general characteristic of those natural products classified as lipids? They are generally insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. They are generally soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. They have the common structural feature of two or more fused carbon rings. They generally have a high weight proportion of oxygen (>40%). Why are heat and alcohol used to disinfect medical equipment? Why is milk given to someone who accidentally ingests a heavy metal ion such as silver or mercury? How does a change in pH affect the structural levels of protein?

Explanation / Answer

(7) (A) Lipids are generally insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents

(8) All alcohols are poisonous to living systems . SO, the use of alcohol will kill all microbes almost instantly on contact. For the more resilient ones, we will use heat. The heat will denature the protein in the cells and cause the fluid in the cells to boil and then burst - resulting in death of the organism.

(9) This heavy metal reacts with the proteins of milk rather body.
