25
True or False? alcohol serves as the medium for most chemical reactions in the body and participates as a reactant or product in certain reactions.
False, Water
26
What are the two types of chemical reactions in water?
Hydrolysis Reaction Dehydration Synthesis Reaction
27
removal of water in metabolic processes. water molecules is one the products formed
Dehydration Synthesis Reaction
28
to loosen or break apart. it is the dissociating the nutrients particularly in food so it enables the dietary nutrients to be absorbed by the body

29

33
refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer to have eight electrons in the valence shell.
Octet rule
34
minerals in your blood and other body fluids that carry an electric charge.
Electrolytes
35
negatively charged ions in which an electron is gained
Anion
36
positively charged ions in which an electron is lost
Cation
37
The three types of Electrolytes
Acid Base Salt
38
These are the substances with higher concentration of hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
Acids
39
These are the substances with higher concentration of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
Base
40
general class of ionic substances formed by the reaction of an acid and a base. It is amphoteric
Salt
41
They can react with both acid and base
Amphoteric
42
donates proton with a pH below 7
Acid
43
accepts proton with a pH above 7
Base
44
The midpoint of pH scale where concentrations of H and OH are equal
7
45
True or False? The more hydroxide ion is dissolved, the more acidic the solution is
Fale, hydrogen ions
46
True or False? The more hydrogen ions is dissolved, the more basic (alkalosis) the solution is
False, hydroxide ions
47
it measures the acidity or alkalinity of a substance which extends from 0 to 14.
pH scale
48
the pH scale of blood
7.35-7.45
49
these are the substances that moderates/control changes in pH
Buffer System
50
True or False? Saliva is a basic solution
False
51
it maintains homeostasis in body by absorbing excess hydrogen ions or hydroxide ions
Buffer System
52
True or False? Semen is acidic
False, semen is alkaline
53
What helps maintain the pH of blood?
Bicarbonate system
54
True or False? pH remains constant
True
55
Its function is to convert strong acid or bases into weak acid or bases
Buffer Systems
56
It ionizes easily and it contributes many hydrogen (H) therefore they can change pH drastically and it can disrupt body metabolism
Strong acid
57
It doesn't ionize as much and it contributes fewer hydrogen (H). Hence they have less effects on pH
Weak acid
58
What are the three factors affecting pH?
Diet Strenuous Exercise Diseases
59
True or False? If we have a vegetarian diet our urine is acidic
False, it's makes urine basic
60
Muscle produces this. If there is too much of this acid, cramps will occur
Lactic Acid
61
A disorder where the pancreas do not produce much insulin causing blood sugar level to be abnormally high
Diabetes Mellitus
61
A disorder where the body produces abnormally high amounts of urine and isn't able to properly retain water
Diabetes Insipidus
62
What are the three blood buffers?
Bicarbonate-carbonic acid Hemoglobin Serum Protein
63
what is the chemical formula of protein?
CHON
64
When your body fluids contain too much acid which results in having a shift of pH
Acidosis
65
it gives the red color in our blood that contains iron
Hemoglobin
66
A type of acidosis where HCO3- is decreased and CO2 is normal
Metabolic Acidosis
67
A type of acidosis where HCO3- is increased and CO2 is normal
Metabolic Alkalosis
68
A type of acidosis where CO2 is increased and HCO3- is normal

A type of acidosis where CO2 is decreased and HCO3- is normal
Respiratory Alkalosis
70
Stimulates desire to drink fluids.
Thirst center in the hypothalamus
71
Stimulates secretion of aldosterone.
Angiotensin II
72
By promoting urinary reabsorption of Na+ and Cl-, increases water reabsorption via osmosis.
Aldosterone
73
Promotes natriuresis, elevated urinary excretion of Na+ (and Cl-), accompanied by water.
Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP)
74
Promotes insertion of water-channel proteins (aquaporin-2) into apical membranes of principal cells in collecting ducts of kidneys. As a result, water permeability of these cells increases and more water is reabsorbed.
Antidiuretic Hormone (ADH) or vasopressin
75
it is also called as cytosol, the fluid within the cell
Intercellular Fluid (ICF)
76
it is also called as plasma, the liquid portion of the blood
Extracellular Fluid (ECF)
77
it separates ICF from ECF
