100x Lower

20
Q

Biological Fluids definition

A

Have buffers to keep pH stable

21
Q

Buffer definition

A

Prevent change in pH
Remove extra H+ from solutions when the concentration of H+ increase
Add H+ when the concentration of H+ decreases

22
Q

Why do body fluids have buffers?

24
Q

What are the four properties of water?

A

Have excellent polar solvent
Have cohesion
Have high heat capacity
Have high heat of vaporization

25
Q

What is important about water having an excellent polar solvent?

A

Water is polar and forms hydrogen bonds. Acting as a solvent for polar molecules

26
Q

What is important about water having cohesion?

A

Cohesion of water allows blood to move easier in the blood vessels

27
Q

What is important about water having high heat capacity?

A

Water in our bodies helps keep us at a constant temperature

28
Q

What is important about water having high heat of vaporization?

A

When we seat the body uses its heat to vaporize the water- cooling us off

29
Q

What is the pH scale?
What are the scales ?

A

The higher the pH , the lower the concentration of H+

Each point increase in pH represents a 10 fold decrease in H+ concentration
