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
bufferCapacity
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 = lessstable
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
VanderWaalsinteractions
interaction between 2 Strongly polar
Dipole-Dipole interaction
very weak vander waals interaction. (small fluctuation in disribution of electrons)
Londondispersionforces
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
