Created by: partial positive charge of h and partial negative charge of o. Depends on # of solute molecules in a given volume. Relationship between molarity and colligative properties = complex for electrolytes. Pka - helps determine effectiveness of a buffer. Proteins - most important in the regulation of blood plasma (hemoglobin) ph effects protein structure and enzymatic activity. R is the resistance to the current and is measured in ohms. Conductance, g = i/r and is measured in siemens. Ions in the solution - carry the current. Lower the km the higher the affinity for the enzyme. Kcat - optimum velocity and enzyme can operate at.
