Below 7.35
What is alkalosis?
Above 7.45
Why are enzymes affected when there is a deviation in the blood?

What is the breaking apart of 2+ water molecules (usually capable of recombining)?


dissociation
In water one____________shifts from one molecule to the other.

H+

___________has an increased amount of H+ concentration of a solution.

Acid

___________have a decreased amount of H+ concentration of a soulution.

Bases

What are acids and bases that dissociate completey in water?
Strong

What is pH?

the measure of H+ concentration

What is the neutral pH?

7

What is the heat vaporization?
540 cal/g
What is the ability of water to stick to other surfaces, like the inside of a straw?

cohesion

What is waters ability to stick to other water molecules?

adhesion

Solutions that have a high concentrate of H+ ions are _______________.

Acidic

Solutions that have a high concentrate of OH- ions are ________________.

Basic

When salt is dissolved in water, water is the ___________ and salt is the ____________.
solvent, solute
What is everything in the universe made of?

matter

What is the measure of the amount of mass in an object called?

mass

What are the three states of matter?

-solid


-liquid


-gas

What are charged particles that move around an atom's nucelus?
electrons
What is xylem?
The tubing in the plant in which water moves.
What is phloem?
Where you move the food from where it was produced to where its going to be stored.
What do xylem and phloem make?
The vascular tissue
How does a drought affect the movement of water?
The water will stay in areas that need it most due to a lack of water. It will eventually shut down unimportant functions and bases the water movement in the most important parts.
What is the losing of electrons and becoming more positively charged?
Oxidation
What is covalent bonding?
Sharing of electrons
What is ionic bonding?

Transfer of electrons

What are two characteristics of acids?

They are sour and corrosive.

What are two characteristics of bases?
They are slippery and bitter.
WHat is bile?

-released by the liver


-basic bc it is going in the


-an emulsifier that helps in the breakdown of fats and oils

How is blood regulated?

-respiratory system (how much CO2)


-the kidneys filter

What does your respiratory system do if your blood pH is above 7.45?
It holds in the CO2 to make carbonic acid that will lower the pH to an acid.
What does your respiratory system do if your blood pH is below 7.35?
You would yawn or hyperventilate or try to get rid of any excessive CO2.
How is your stomach protected from the acid?
Mucus produced by goblet cells.
The atomic number is always___________.

Smaller



The atomic mass is always_____________.

Bigger

How do you reach the number of protons and electrons?

It is the atomic number.

How do you reach the number of neutrons?

The atomic mass minus the atomic number.

What is different in isotopes?

Anion

What is an enzyme?

A biological catalyst tha lowers the activation energy.

What is the activation energy?

The amount of force needed to make a chemical reaction.

When neutralizing what two things will be formed?

Salt and water

When a base and acid are combined, then you put 10 and the number between them with a _________.
10 to the 5th x
The pH of the stomach juices is 1-2 due to the release of____________?
Hydrochloric acid
What does it mean when a reaction is exergonic?
The reactants have more bond energy than the products.
