Lab 2&3: Chemistry & Microscope Flashcards
PH
MEASURE OF H+ ION CONCENTRATION
ACID
- below 7
- increased H+ ion concentration
- H+ acceptor
BASE
- above 7
- donor of H+ ion concentration
- increase in OH- concentration
BUFFER
Mixture of base/acid that prevents changes in original PH
Chemical Reaction
Interaction of atoms and molecules in which bonds are formed, broken and rearranged.
Enzyme
A catalyst for reactions by lowering the activation energy and speeding the rate at which the reaction will occur
Solute
Substance that gets dissolved (solid)
Solvent
Present in higher concentration (liquid)
Solubility
How easily a solute will dissolve in a solvent
DNA
String of nucleic acids that contains the genetic info and instructions for building proteins
What is the role of urinary system in PH regulation
It secretes H+ out of the body to become more basic
NORMAL PH RANGE
7.35-7.45
Two factors that can affect rate of reaction
Temperature & PH
As temperature increases, the rate of reaction ______ and as temperature decreases, rate of reaction _____
Increases; decreases
Enzymes
-biological catalyst
-not consumed in reaction
-does not change products
-
