Name the lipids having perhydro-1, 2-cyclopentano-phenanthrene system. Name an important steroid formed in gall bladder and state its function.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Lipids having perhydro-1, 2-cyclopentano-phenanthrene system are called steroids. The important steroid formed in gall bladder is cholesterol. It is an essential component of cell membrane. It acts as a precursor during vitamin D and steroid synthesis.

Consider an ellipse x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2=1 Let a hyperbola is having its vertices at the extremities of minor axis of an ellipse and length of major axis of an ellipse is equal to the distance between the foci of hyperbola. Let e_1 and e_2 be the eccentricities of an ellipse and hyperbola respectively. Again let A be the area of the quadrilateral formed by joining all the foci and A, be the area of the quadrilateral formed by all the directrices. The relation between e_1 and e_2 is given by

(1) Give structure and IUPAC name of an optically active alkane having lowest molecular mass. Is there another alkane of the same molecular mass that is also optically active? (2) Give example of a compound which exhibits both optical & geometrical isomerism.

In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is found in two forms, i.e., ^12CO_2 and ^14CO_2 . Plants absord CO_2 during photosynthesis in presence of chlorophyll, plants synthesise glucose 6CO_2 +6 H_2O rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2uarr Half life of ^14CO_2 is 5760 years. The analysis of wooden artifacts for ^14C and ^12C gives useful information for determination of its age. All living organisms, because of their constant exchange of Carbon dioxide with the surroundings have the same ratio of C-14 to C-12, i.e. 1.3xx10^-12 . When an organism dies, the C-14 in it keeps on decaying as follows: 6^14Crarr7^14N+(-1)^0e +Energy Thus, the ratio of C-14 and C-12 decreases with the passage of time. We can measure the proportion of C-14 in the remains of dead organism and determine how long ago it died. The method of carbon dating can be used to date anything made or organic matter, e.g., bone, skeleton, wood, etc. Using carbon dating, materials have been dated to about 50,000 years with accuracy. C-14 exists in atmosphere due to:
