Errors:

1. Reason that a person must have feet under a chair or body leaning forward is to keep the body in
equilibrium so that there’s a center of mass. The person is in equilibrium only when the center of
mass is directly above their feet. Otherwise, if the person did not lean forward or slide the feet
under the chair, the person would fall backward due to the large torque created by the
combination of the weight of the body (applied at the person’s center of mass) and the distance
along the horizontal between the center of mass and the support point.
a. Translational motion, forces, work, energy, and equilibrium in living systems
2. I made the mistake of confusing wavelength with frequency. Moving left is higher frequency but
moving right is higher wavelength. Misread.
a. Atoms, nuclear decay, electronic structure, and atomic chemical behavior
3. There are 6.022*10^23 molecules in a mole. Not knowing.
4. Radioactive nuclei decay into their daughter nuclei.

5. In designing the experiment, the researchers used which type of 32P labeled ATP? Misread. I put
Beta labeled ATP imaging that it was undergoing beta decay when in reality they were asking
which phosphate was labeled, which would make Gamma the answer.
6. When used in place of spHM, which peptide would be most likely to achieve the same
experimental results? FLGFTY--> FLGFGY not FLGFAY. I want the non-polar answer Alanine to
replace threonine but ignored the importance of maintaining the functional group OH. This is
important because this is the residue mentioned in the beginning of the passage that is said to be
phosphorylated. You can’t phosphorylate alanine
a. Structure, function, and reactivity of biologically-relevant molecules
7. G–C base pairs form stronger π-stacking interactions than A–T base pairs, thereby creating the
most thermal stability. This disparity has often been used to explain the increased melting
temperature of DNA rich in GC content.
8. Covalent vs ionic bonds. Coordinate bonds. Nonmetal vs metal
9. How to find Oxidation number vs oxidation state vs coordination number.
10. Strength of reactivity vs acid/base strength vs polarity
11. The systolic pressure is determined from the first sound of blood flow that can be heard once the
pressure exerted by the inflatable cuff falls below the pressure in the artery.
12. 20 dB and 40 dB, respectively. The difference is 20 dB, meaning that the decimal log of the ratio
of their intensities is 2, which means that the ratio of their intensities is 100.
13. To find H/S/G, you must do prod-react
14. The electromotive force of a redox reaction is not dependent on the coefficients in the balanced
equation as it is an intensive property
