  • Dissociates completely in water
    • Strong acid
  • Do not Dissociate completely in water
    • Weak Acid
  • Dissociates completely in water
    • Strong Acid
  • Do not Dissociate completely in water
    • Weak acid
  • most abundant molecule in cell important compound that reduces noncovalent interaction of bromolecules due to its capabilities to form H-bonds
    • Water
  • the measure of how acidic or basic a chemical is when it's in an aqueous (water) solution. It also measures of the negative base 10 logarithms of H20 in a solution
    • PH
  • role: do not let ph change
    weak acid + conjugate base or weak base + conjugate acid
    • buffer
  • + strong acid = Lower the Ph
    + strong base = raise the Ph
  • the amount of strong acid or base that a buffer solution can take before significant PH changes occur
    • buffer Capacity
  • average pH - 7.4, Larger than 0.10 - illness, uses 3 buffer system carbonates, phosphates, proteins
    • human blood
  • most important of the system, defined as polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketone, made up of Carbonic Acid - Bicarbonate ion
    • Carbohydrates
  • second most important buffering system, made up of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, sodium hydrogen phosphate
    • Phosphates
  • almost all can function as buffer, made of amino acids
    • Proteins
  •  principal protein inside red blood cells and accounts for one-third of the mass of the cell
    • Hemoglobin
  • accumulation of the acidic products of metabolism and can develap during shock, starvation, or severe diarrhea.
    • Metabolic Acidosis
  • less common condition, can result from prolonged vomiting
    • metabolic alkalosis
  • impared pulmonary function caused by airway blockage, asthma, emphysema 
    • Respiratory Acidosis
  •  rare condition, often caused b Hyperventilation bought on by fear or Anxiety 
    • Respiratory Alkalosis
  • deprotonate 
    • Hybride ion
  • weaker acid + weaker base= stable
  • strong acid + strong base = less stable
  • The only biomolecule that doesn't have monomen
    • Lipids
  • amphiphilic molecules arranged with the hydrophilic group on the surface and the hydrophobic groups buried in the
    center. (solvated surface, hydrophobic core)
    • Micelles
  • blood buffer component that is lost during rapid respiration
    • CO2
  • a variable that represents the PH at which there is an equal concentration of protonated and unprotonated species
    • pKa
  • store genetic information and enable protein production
    • Nucleic acids
  • DNA are made up of the monomeric units
    • Nucleotides
  • This equation accurately describes the behavior of burper solution by determining the relationship between the Logarithm of ka and LA): (HA] ratio.
    • Henderson-Hasselbach
  • (water fearing) insoluble in water
    • Hydrophobic
  • (water loving) soluble in water
    • hydrophilic
  • weaker than Hydrogen bond
    • Van der Waals interactions
  • interaction between 2 Strongly polar
    • Dipole - Dipole interaction
  • very weak vander waals interaction. (small fluctuation in disribution of electrons)
    • London dispersion forces
  • vital source of energy for both plants and animal, reducing property if it is with free Aldehyde or Ketone
    • Carbohydrates
  • Simplest carbohydrates, consist of one saccharide unit, cannot be hydrolyzed
    • Monosaccharides
  • most abundant monosaccharide (a sugar units)
    • Glucose
  • Consist of monosaccharide units joined by a glycoxidic Linkage ( has 2 sugar units)
    • Disaccharide
  • presence of chiral or assymetric carbon, mirror images a carbohydrate
    • Enantiomers
  • sugars with free anomeric carbon atom, good reducing agents Sugar 
    • Sugar Aid
  • prepared lay the mild reduction
    • Sugar Alcohols
