Chapter 17, Problem 17.118EP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Considering the compound melatonin, the concentration in the human body decreases with age has to be indicated as true or false.

Concept Introduction:

Organic compounds are the important basis of life.  They include gasoline, coal, dyes, and clothing fibers etc.  The compounds that are obtained from living organisms are termed as organic compounds and those obtained from the earth are known as inorganic compounds.  Organic compounds are found in earth also apart from living organisms.  All the organic compounds contain the element carbon.  Urea was synthesized in the laboratory which is an organic compound.

Organic compounds contain heteroatom also.  Some of them are nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen etc.  Nitrogen containing organic compounds is of two important types and they are amines, amides.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Considering the compound melatonin, “good night’s sleep” is associated with low level of melatonin has to be indicated as true or false.
