WARM UP 9/24 1. What biomolecule’s building blocks are… a. Nucleotides a. Nucleotides b. Amino acids b. Amino acids c. Saccharides c. Saccharides d. Acids and bases d. Acids and bases e. Fatty acids and glycerol e. Fatty acids and glycerol 2. Name 2 types of bonds functions of salt.
ACIDS AND BASES Have your chart out to add on these biomolecules
ACIDS- compound that gives off H+ ions ELEMENTS: Hydrogen + a metal Hydrogen + a metal BUILDING BLOCKS: none FUNCTION: 1. Break down foods 2. Fight against germs
BODY: Stomach (HCl) Acetic acid Carbonic acid FOODS: Citrus fruits Milk Alcohol Spicy foods
BASES – compound that gives off OH- ions ELEMENTS:OxygenHydrogen plus metal BUILDING BLOCKS: None
FUNCTIONS: 1. Protect tissues from acids BODY: Digestive tract (bicarbonate) FOODS: Leafy vegetables Baking soda
NOTES Ch 2 9/24 ACIDS AND BASES
pH Scale Measures the concentration of H+ ions in a solution
Ranges from 0 – 14 0 end acidic 7neutral 14 end basic (alkali)
Every step up = 10 times more EX: pH 3 and pH 8 = 5 (10), so pH3 is 50 times more acidic than pH8 or pH8 is 50 times more basic than pH3
LITMUS PAPER Used to test pH Will turn color in presence of an acid or base
ACID EX: HCl H+ + Cl- BASE EX: NaOH Na+ + OH-
ACID + BASE HCl + NaOH NaCl + ? H2O H2O = SALT + WATER = SALT + WATER (H+ and OH- = H2O) (H+ and OH- = H2O) acid base acid base
ACID BASE BALANCE Cells VERY sensitive to changes in body pH Blood 7.4 Acidosis < 7.4 Alkinosis > 7.4 Lungs important in balance
Decrease breathing Increase CO2 Formation of carbonic acid blood pH acidic blood pH acidic Increase breathing Decrease CO2 blood pH back HOMESTATIS OF ACIDS AND BASES
TODAY ACID – BASE LAB Read all directions Do not spill! Do not smell directly! Make sure to clean up, points for it NEED: something to write with, today’s notes
