Before the second gulf war, many in the u. s. government believed that iraq possessed significant stores of weapons of mass destruction. in part, this belief was supported by cia intelligence reports that later turned out to be wrong. some have blamed the intense need for group cohesion and loyalty for driving out anyone who disagreed with the analysis. what is this called?

Groupthink

Explanation:

The situation shown in the above question can be called groupthink. In short, groupthink happens when groups seek extreme consensus at the cost of effective decision making. They are more concerned with maintaining group unity than with making the best decision. In such cases, independent thinking of group members is frowned upon and alternative suggestions are replaced in an attempt to gain agreement. An example of this was the belief backed by CIA intelligence reports that Iraq had significant reserves of weapons of mass destruction, which later turned out to be wrong.

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure
