Important terms: cellulose is a polymer of glucose units, lipids are diverse series of organic compounds which include steroids, phospholipids have a p group, functional group- a chemically active, usually hydrophilic (loves water) group such as a. Hydrocarbon=hydrophobic much hydrogen: organic compound- a compound containing carbon. Has a carbon-carbon bond and: henderson hasselbalch equation: a. ph= pka + log( a/ha, weak acid- stable in water and does not dissociate much. High pka and low ka: strong acid- unstable in water and does dissociate well. Low pka and high ka: pka- a, pka of h2po4 = 7. 2, higher the pka, the less the acid dissociates. Log ( h a / ha : ka- a. b, all concentrations are molar. Both sides are equal: buffer- keeps the ph stable. A substance that takes up h if conditions become more acidic and releases the h is conditions become more basic: 1st component moderates against base and the second buffers against acid, ph a.
