23
Q

PH scale

A

a measure of relative amounts of hydrogen ions(H+) range is 0-14

24
Q

neutral on the ph scale

25
acidic on the ph scale
less than 7
26
basic on the ph scale
greater than 7
27
acids
solutes which release a hydrogen ion, proton donors
28
bases
solutes which bind with a hydrogen ion, proton acceptor
29
to form water..
many bases release a hydroxide ion which binds with a hydrogen ion
30
example of an acid
hydrochloric acid
31
example of a base
sodium hydroxide
32
neutralization
returning an acidic or basic solution to a pH of 7
33
buffers
compounds that help prevent ph change. they can both accept or donate hydrogen ions
34
example of buffers
carbonic acid - bicarbonate buffering system in blood
35
water mixtures
categorized by relative size of substance mixed with water
36
suspersion
large molecules in water, separates when stationary
37
collid
medium sized molecule dispersed in water, doesn't separate when stationary
38
solution
small molecules dissolved in water. does not separate when stationary
39
solition concentration
amount of solutes dissolved in a solution
40
mass/volume
mass of solute per volume of solution, often used for blood tests
41
mass/volume percent
grams of solute per 100ml of solution. unit of measure for intravenous solutions
42
molarity
number of moles per solute per liter of solution
43
osmolarity
number of particles per liter of solution
44
osmole
unit of measure for number of particles. reflects if the solute dissociates or not
45
organic compound
always contains carbon and hydrogen
46
lipids
not polymers, they are a very diverse group of fatty, water insoluble molecules
47
What are the four types of lipids?
triglycerides, phospholipids,steroids ans eicosanoids
48
functions of lipids?
energy storage, support, cushioning, insulation and cell membrane communication
49
carbohydrates
means "hydrated carbons" every carbon has a water molecule attached -o and -oh
50
Examples of carbs
``` Glucose frucose sucrose lactose glycogen starch cellulose ```
51
primary function of carbohydrates
main source of energy
52
nucleic acids
composed of a pentose sugar, a phosphate functional group and a nitrogenous base
53
examples of nucleic acids
DNA | RNA
54
functions of nucleic acids
stores and transfers genetic information and protein synthesis
