Document Summary

Study guide: human chemical composition: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon. Maj biomoc"s: protein, lipids, nucleic acids, carbs. Types of cells: specific distinction between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. Chapter 2 water, weak bonds, generation of order out of chaos. Brownian motion: all moc"s in constant motion to certain degree, random motion, doesn"t cost cell any energy, just happens, yet many chem bonds get initiated, eg. Van der waals: will always be asymmetry of moc at any given time due to constant motion of electrons, no dipoles or charges, based off transients. Hydrophobic force: entropy lack of structure, water goes from higher order to lower order when non-polar mocs join (higher entropy state) because less water mocs that attach onto non-polar mocs. When non-polar mocs in more blobs, more water is attached and has a higher order. Sulfhydryl cysteine*** ph power of hydrogen : larger ka = stronger acid, dissociation constant, ph = pka + log([a-]/[ha])
