A substance that is more basic has a _____ pH than a substance that is acidic.
An example of homeostasis is the regulation of the glucose sugar level in blood through the interaction of the hormones insulin and glucagon.
What happens if the body is unable to maintain its blood glucose level?
What might happen if buffers did not exist within the human body?
Our blood and other bodily fluids might become too acidic or basic.
Our stomach acid would not be able to break down food.
We would not be able to process glucose within our cells.
We would not be able to inhale oxygen into our lungs.
An acid has a pH
higher than 7
lower than 7
7
greater than 14
the more H+ ions the
stronger the acid
weaker the acid
it neutralizes
True or false: bases are sometimes called alkaline.
True
False
What is an example of a positive feedback mechanism?
True or false: a neutral solution has equal amounts of H+ and OH-.
True
False
Describe COHESION.
Water molecules attracted to other substances.
Water molecules climbing upwards against the force of gravity.
Water molecules dissolving many substances because of its polarity.
Water molecules attracted to other water molecules.
Describe ADHESION.
Water molecules attracted to other substances.
Water molecules climbing upwards against the force of gravity.
Water molecules dissolving many substances because of its polarity.
Water molecules attracted to other water molecules.
Why does water moderate temperature so well?
It does not allow heat in between the hydrogen bonds.
More energy is needed to break all the hydrogen bonds, or rebuild them, between water molecules.
Water has high energy all the time, so it can't heat up any more.
The polarity of the water molecule resists the added energy, causing water to stay the same temperature.
A base is a substance
That releases OH- ions when dissolved in water
That releases H+ ions when dissolved in water
Does not release any ions when dissolved in water
None of the above
Homeostatic cooling mechanisms include
piloerection and panting
panting and vasoconstriction
sweating and piloerection
sweating and vasodilation
Why do biological systems need good buffers?
Water is a poor buffer
They need to maintain a pH of 8.0 at all times
All living organisms need to maintain homeostasis in terms of pH
Liquids cannot resist changes in pH
Which best describes the stimulus-response model?
Stimulus -> receptor -> effector -> integrator -> response
Stimulus -> receptor -> integrator -> effector -> response
Stimulus -> effector -> integrator -> receptor -> response
Based on your virtual lab,, which of the following is (are) basic?
Oven cleaner
Shampoo
Antacids
All of the choices
Refer to the picture; the water is sticking to the spider web because of:
Adhesion
Cohesion
Attractions between water molecules are called
Covalent bonds
Ionic bonds
Polar bonds
Hydrogen bonds
Why does ice float?
As water freezes, it expands and its density decreases.
As water freezes, it takes up more hydrogen from the atmosphere
As water freezes, air becomes trapped between the water molecules.
As water freezes, it takes up more oxygen from the atmosphere
What type of bond attaches the oxygen and hydrogens together in a SINGLE water molecule?
hydrogen bonds
ionic bonds
covalent bonds
Which term refers to water having a slightly positive and a slighty negative charge on its ends?
cohesion
surface tension
polar
adhesion
Refer to the picture; the insect is not falling through the water because of:
Adhesion
Cohesion

How do enzymes speed up chemical reaction?
Increasing activation energy
Decreasing activation energy
Increasing deactivation energy
Decreasing deactivation energy
Which macromolecules has a nitrogen base and phosphate found in its structure?

protein
nucleic acid
If a substance has the elements CHO and is not soluble in water, which of the macromolecules would this substance be?
Carbohydrate
Lipid
Protien
Nucleic Acid
Once a new product leaves an enzyme, the enzyme is unchanged and ready for the next substrate. What is this called?
fragile
reusable
specific
catalyst
A baby is locked in the car on a hot day. What is most likely to happen to the child?
The child's body will adjust and cause it to maintain homeostasis
The child's enzymes will denature causing chemical reactions to speed up in the body, which will lead to death.
The child's enzymes will denature causing chemical reactions to slow down in the body, which will lead to death.
The activation energy for chemical reactions will remain unchanged and therefore the child will live.
A receptor site that a molecule can bind to that changes the shape of the active site is called a(n):
non-competitive inhibitor
Active Site
DiSulphide Bridge
MHC Receptor
