Front 12

Name all of the possible geometry shapes for an organic compound.

Back 12

tetrahedral, linear, trigonal planar

Front 13

the study of compounds containing carbon

Front 14

What is the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated compound?

Back 14

saturated = single bonds
unsaturated = double or triple bonds. THINK: with single bonds, all of the carbons have hydrogens surrounding them, but the double and triple bonds don't.

Front 15

an organic chemical compound of hydrogen and carbon in either gaseous, liquid, or solid phase

Back 15

hydrocarbon

Front 16

halide ions combined with a single halogen or hydrogen atom to form hydrohalic acids

Back 16

hydrohalide

Front 42

What instrument did Dr. Campbell request at the beginning of the movie "The Medicine Man"?

Back 42

a gas chromatograph

Front 43

Why does Dr. Campbell insist that Dr. Crane wear a surgical mask when she first arrives?

Back 43

he doesn't want her to contaminate the air of the tribal people

Front 44

Why does Dr. Campbell give Dr. Crane a physical before she takes a bath in the lake?

Back 44

so she doesn't contaminate the water

Front 45

What substance is used to "run the baseline" for the instrument?

Back 45

glucose

Front 46

How many compounds are present in the analysis of the compound?

Back 46

49 compounds

Front 47

What kind of compound is Dr. Campbell analyzing, organic or inorganic?

Back 47

organic

Front 48

Why is the compound being tested so important?

Back 48

it is the cure for cancer

Front 49

How does Dr. Campbell show Dr. Crane that his compound is a cure?

Back 49

he shows his experiments with the rodents

Front 50

Back 50

"The Medicine Man"

Front 51

How have the tribal people remained cancer free?

Back 51

the tribal people eat a special plant (serum)

Front 52

What's the problem with the cure according to Dr. Campbell?

Back 52

it doesn't reproduce

Front 53

Why does Dr. Campbell no want anyone else (companies, etc) to come to the village?

Back 53

because the villagers could be infected with disease and other things that the companies bring to the tribes

Front 54

If the cure becomes public knowledge, the reserarch could be affected in many ways. What are they?

Back 54

The advantage is a cure for cancer, the disadvantage is that the tribe could be in danger
