Document Summary

Bios 2400 - chapter 2 - chemical composition of the body. Ph is below 7; often called a proton donor (b/c it can release h+ into the solution: when a solution has more oh- ions than h+ ions, this is called a base, and its. In blood, two molecules stabilize ph: bicarbonate ion (hco3-) and carbonic acid (h2co3: hco3- + h+ h2co3, bicarbonate neutralizes excess acid, carbonic acid neutralizes excess base. If blood falls below ph 7. 35, the condition is called acidosis. Cooh: stereoisomers are molecules that have the same atoms in the same sequence, but differ from each other in the way their atoms are arranged three-dimensionally in space, this characteristic is critical to function. A given enzyme may interact with one stereoisomer but not with another: the sugars glucose, galactose, and fructose are all stereoisomers, orientation in space can mean different biological activities.
