Heroin

Heroin has the chemical formula $C_{21} H_{23}NO_{5}$ and has the chemical name (IUPAC), (5α,6α)-7,8-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-17-methylmorphinan-3,6-diol diacetate.

Heroin is also known as diamorphine. It can be produced from morphine reacting with a powerful acetic anhydride, or it can be obtained naturally from seed pods of certain opium poppy plants. Heroin is commonly used as a recreational drug as it induces euphoric effects. Medically, it can be used to relieve pain or used in an opioid replacement therapy.

Dr. Haxton says the O-O bond is polar and the C-C bond is nonpolar. A good student would say ...

a.No, both bonds are highly polar.

b.Yes. O attracts electrons more strongly than C.

c.Right! O is electronegative, so O2 is polar.

d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

e.No way. C is more electronegative than O.

Answer: d.Wrong again, Ralph. Both bonds are nonpolar. When two atoms of the same kind form a covalent bond, they share electrons equally because their electronegativity is the same.

Explanation:

Often when O and H are present in the substance at (opposite) ends (of the electronegativity scale), the polarity observed is very large, we can safely say the substance have a polar bond in it.

True or false the typical X shaped chromosomes is the result of DNA replication

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Truly, the typical X shaped chromosomes is the result of DNA replication. When the DNA has replicated, it then condenses and coil into the X-shaped of the chromosome. This then implies that replicated chromosomes take the X-shaped structures seen under a microscope.

When this replication occurs, the chromosome is made of two structures that are identical. They are known as the sister chromatids. These chromatids are actually joined at the centromere.

_____ is a control mechanism that intensifies an earlier reaction.

Positive feedback

There are two types of feedback mechanisms
Positive feedback heightens the intensity
Negative feedback lowers the intensity

These all serve to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis is the state where the internal and external part of the body maintains and establishes balance and equilibrium.
