Question
Answer
pH   Measurement of amount of free H+ in a solution. pH = -log[H+] [H+] = antilog (-pH)  
🗑
Acids   release H+ into water  
🗑
Bases   Accept Free hydrogen ions  
🗑
Buffers   minimize changes in pH in a solution. Bind Any excess h+ present (decrease pH) release h+ if too few are present(increase pH)  
🗑
Henderson hasselback equation   pH = pka + log([A-]/[HA]) A = deprotonated form, HA = protonated  
🗑
pH above and below pKa   pH above pKa = more OH- ions, take away H+ from molecules, more negative pH below pKa = more H+ ions, add h+ onto molecule, make more positive  
🗑
Isoelectric point calculation   First find the one with net zero charge. Then find two pKas that go from +1 to 0 charge and from -1 to 0 charge. Add them up, divide by two. that is your pI.  
🗑
Isoelectric point   pH value in which net charge is zero. pI below 6 = acidic pI above 8 = basic pI 6-8 = neutral  
🗑
Buffering zone   maximally resists buffer at this. pKa +1 and -1.  
🗑
Papain   breaks down proteins. most active between pH 6 and 7. Enzyme. cysteine 25 and histidine 159 are involved. charged at this pH. Enzymatic activity lost when lower pH, cysteine is protonated higher pH, histidine deprotonated.  
🗑
pH of blood   Must be around 7.4. below 7.4 = acidosis. indiciation of diabetes. Serious, many enzymes pH dependent. above 7.4 = alkalosis. caused by hyperventilation and persistent vomiting.  
🗑
Below pH 7.3, what happens to the blood   Carbon dioxide cant be removed efficiently.  
🗑
Why does extreme acidosis and alkalosis lead to death?   protein is denatured. change in protein shape.  
🗑
Zwitterion   dipolar. physiological pH, carboxyl deprotonated, amine protonated.  
🗑
Ionic state of AA   depends on pH of solution. low pH = AA protonated at amine and carboxyl, + charge. high pH = AA deprotonated at amine and carboxyl, - charge. neutral pH = zwitter ion. also called isoelectric point.  
🗑
How is blood pH maintained?   CArbonic acid-Bicarbonate buffer, kidneys- take too long. Lungs faster way to control pH.  
🗑
Carbonic Acid-Bicarbonate Buffer   Most important buffer for maintaining pH in blood. [HCO3] in blood fixed by [CO2] in gas phase. [CO2] in lungs depends on rate of CO2 production in metabolism and rate of breathing  
🗑
Respiratory Acidosis   acidosis resulting from failure of lungs to eliminate CO2 as fast as possible as it is produced  
🗑
Increasing breathing during exercise   Meant to counteract pH lowering effects of exercise by removing CO2, component of principal pH buffer in blood  
🗑
Slow breathing vs Fast breathing   Slow breathing, raises CO2 content, hypoventilaton. fast breathing, lowers CO2 concent, hyperventilation  
🗑
If H+ ions released into blood   H+ ions react with HCO3- to form H2CO3. Carbonic Anhydrase converts this to CO2 and H2O, releases CO2 as gas in lungs. H2CO3 remains constant.  
🗑
If OH- ions are released into blood   OH- react with H2CO3, produce HCO3- and H2O. More CO2 dissolves in solution, H2CO3 remains constant.  
🗑
If a person hyperventilates   pCO2 in lungs drops. lungs remove excess CO2 from blood(raise pH). This ultimate causes a drop in H+ concentration and results in an increase in bloods pH. causes alkalosis  
🗑
Increase CO2 in blood/lungs   lower pH  
🗑
Lower BiCarbonate   lower pH  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
