Chapter 2, Problem 8CT
Summary Introduction
To answer:
An article in the local newspaper about gangrene states that the tissue-destroying toxin, lecithinase, is an “organic compound.” However, many people consider “organic” chemicals to mean something is good. Explain the reason for the contradiction.
Introduction:
The organic molecule is defined as the carbon- containing compound and it is referred to as a

Both ethanol and trimethyldodecylammonium chloride are active ingredients in cleaning products used to disinfect. Both will inactivate coronaviruses by a similar mechanism of action. Describe that mechanism of action and why both chemicals are able to cause it. (Reminder: coronaviruses are "lipid envelope" viruses.) Consider the physical properties of these compounds to answer the following question: why might you choose to use a cleaning product with one of these active ingredients over the other?
Autotrophic organisms such as plants, algae, blue green alga, and chemosynthetic bacteria are rarely mentioned in pathology because they do not cause disease in other types of living things. What is it about the metabolic machinery of autotrophs that makes them unlikely to cause disease in people?
Is it possible for someone poisoned with cyanide to benefit from artificial respiration or oxygenation (i.e., giving them oxygen)? Explain why or why
