BIOL1719 Study Guide - Quiz Guide: Bicarbonate Buffer System, Chemical Polarity, Sodium Chloride
Document Summary
Trace elements 14; only some want you to remember. Ionic bonds most common type of bond cations & anions attracted electrically transfer one electron to the other. Polar molecule polar covalent bond unequal sharing. Important electrolytes : nacl (sodium chloride) na+ + cl, kcl (potassium chloride) k+ + cl, nahco3 (sodium bicarbonate) na+ + hco3- Bicarbonates soak up h+ ions acid enter body, bicarbonate atoms soak it up & forms carbonic acid. This carried through blood, and hits the lungs, where enzyme breaks it down to h2o and co2, then gets circulated around. Hco31- + h+ h2co3 h2o + co2: hco3 + h+ goes right into lungs, h2o + co2 goes left into tissues. At 7. 8 death also ensues alkalosis: maintaining blood ph slide 2 systems involved in maintaining acid base balance. Kidneys involved if cant eliminate something retain it impacts blood.
