ESSAY
1. Methane, which is composed of carbon and hydrogen, lacks functional groups and is a gas at room
temperature. Upon replacing one of the hydrogen atoms with a hydroxyl group, methane is converted
to methanol, which is a liquid at room temperature. Explain the reason behind this difference in
physical properties.
ANS:
Concepts to Consider: Polar nature of methanol compared to methane is due to polar hydroxyl group;
polarity of methanol allows formation of hydrogen bonds and increases cohesiveness of this chemical.
PTS: 1 REF: p. 49 OBJ: Bloom's: Analysis

TOP: Discussion or Thought Questions
2. Why is carbon ideally suited to be the "backbone" in molecules produced by living organisms?
ANS:
Concepts to Consider: Ability of carbon to bond with four other atoms; the nature of the strong
covalent bond linking adjacent carbon atoms; the ability of carbon to form linear, branched, and ring
structures; the insolubility of hydrocarbons in water.

3. Sickle cell anemia is a genetic disease caused by the replacement of one amino acid in the hemoglobin
molecule. This replacement changes the shape and function of the hemoglobin protein in dramatic
ways, which can sometimes be lethal. How can the substitution of one amino acid lead to such drastic
results?
ANS:
Concepts to Consider: Amino acid sequence determines primary structure; primary structure affects
the shape of proteins; the shape of proteins determines their function.
