Other questions in this quiz
2. what is a chiral molecule?
- a carbon atom with four different groups attached
- a carbon atom with three different groups attached
- a carbon atom with two different groups attached
- a carbon atom with the same goups attached
3. how does chiralty work?
- if the molecule is rotated in any way it will not match it's chiral partner.
- if the molecule is rotated it will match it's chiral partner.
4. why is chiralty an issue in producing drugs?
- half of the drug is wasted as it is it's chiral partner and it is unethical to produce two chiral drugs.
- one of the chiral drugs could be harmful and half of the drug is wasted as it is it's chiral partner
- one of the chiral drugs could be harmful and the pharmalogical activity is increased
- half of the drug is wasted as it is it's chiral partner and the pharmalogical activity is increased
5. how can you over come the issues with using a chiral drug.
- use an enzyme in the production and increase the temperature
- use an enzyme in the production and start with one chiral reactant
- start with one chiral reactant and increase the temperature
