compounds that can bind to Hydrogen when Hydrogen concentration increases and can release Hydrogen when the Hydrogen concentration decreases   buffer  
🗑
what should the pH in humans stay around   6.5-7.5  
🗑
if humans have too low of a pH what could that result in   ulcer  
🗑
change substances into different substances by breaking chemical bonds and forming new chemical bonds   chemical reaction

🗑
***Enzymes SPEED UP reactions and LOWER activation energy    
🗑
why do enzymes have a specific shape   so they fit a specific substrate  
🗑
something that needs to be broken down   substrate  
🗑
temperature and pH can affect the shape of the enzyme which can cause enzyme to not work   denaturization  
🗑
why is carbon the element of life   it can bond to many different elements  
🗑
