Buffers resist abrupt and large changes in the pH of the body by releasing or binding ions.
Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide.
Isotopes differ from each other only in the number of electrons the atom contains.
Chemical properties are determined primarily by neutrons.
The fact that no chemical bonding occurs between the components of a mixture is the chief
difference between mixtures and compounds.
All organic compounds contain carbon.
A chemical bond is an energy relationship between outer electrons and neighboring atoms.
Hydrogen bonds are too weak to bind atoms together to form molecules but are important
intramolecular bonds.
The pH of body fluids must remain fairly constant for the body to maintain homeostasis.
A dipeptide can be broken into two amino acids by dehydration synthesis.
The atomic weight is only an average of relative weights of an atom and its isotopes, and it may
vary from the weight of a specific isotope.
The acidity of a solution reflects the free hydrogen ions in the solution
Lipids are a poor source of stored energy.
Glycogen, the storage form of glucose, is primarily stored in muscle tissue only.
The lower the pH, the higher the hydrogen ion concentration.
Mixtures are combinations of elements or compounds that are physically blended together but are
not bound by chemical bonds.
Covalent bonds are generally less stable than ionic bonds.
A charged particle is generally called an ion or electrolyte.
About 60% to 80% of the volume of most living cells consists of organic compounds.
It is the difference in the R group that makes each amino acid chemically unique.
