provides medium for movement of mlcs in and out of cellular compartments
separates charged mlcs
dissipates heat
participates in chemical rxns

Acids in Blood (name 5) Some Cars Lack Pirate Citruses
sulfuric acid carbonic acid lactic acid pyruvic acid citric acid
Acids in Blood (name 5) Ancient Beyonce Assailed Dashing Amoebas
acetoacetic acid B-hydroxybutyric acid acetic acid dihydrogen phosphate ammonium ion
aliphatic compounds
non-aromatic, can be saturated or unsaturated carbon atoms are joined together in straight or branched chains, or non-aromatic rings (alicyclic)
aromatic compounds
a ring of carbon atoms; usually benzene ring
carbon-oxygen groups
alcohol - OH
aldehyde O=C-H
keton O=C-
carboxylic acid O=C-OH
ether C-O-C
acid anhydride O=C-O-C=O
carbon-sulfur groups
sulfhydryl group -SH
disulfide S-S
carbon-nitrogen groups
amine group - NH3
quaternary amine - N with 3 CH3 attached
esters and amides
ester O=C-O-C
thioester O=C-S-C
phosphoester O=P-O-C
amide O=C-NH
dopamine

choline
functional group rxns
acid + alcohol –> ester
acid + sulfhydryl –> thioester
acid + amine –> amide
phophoric acid + alcohol –> phosoester
acid + acid –> anhydride
alpha carbon
first carbon attached to functional group
alpha-hydrogen - hydrogen attached to alpha carbon
