1. The gecko is a reptile with an amazing ability to climb smooth surfaces, including glass. Recent discoveries indicate that geckos stick to smooth surfaces via van der Waals interactions between septae on their feet and the smooth surface.How is this method of stickiness advantageous over covalent interactions? Given that van der Waals forces are among the weakest molecular interactions, how can the gecko’s feet stick so effectively?

5. In the 1960s, the drug thalidomide was prescribed to pregnant women to treat morning sickness. However, thalidomide caused severe limb defects in the children of some women who took the drug, and its use for morning sickness was discontinued. It is now known that thalidomide was administered as a mixture of two stereoisomeric compounds,one of which relieved morning sickness and the other of which was responsible for the birth defects. What are stereoisomers? Why might two such closely related compounds have such different physiologic effects?

8. Ammonia (NH3) is a weak base that under acidic conditions becomes protonated to the
ammonium ion in the following reaction:
NH3+H+---NH4+
NH3 freely permeates biological membranes, including those of lysosomes. The lysosome is a subcellular organelle with a pH of about 5.0; the pH of cytoplasm is 7.0. What is the effect on the pH of the fluid content of lysosomes when cells are exposed to ammonia? Note: Protonated ammonia does not diffuse freely across membranes.
