An important buffer in body fluids is HCl. H2O. NaCl. NaOH. NaHCO3.
When Na donates an electron to Cl, the Na atom becomes a cation and the Cl atom an anion. Since (+) and (-) charges attract each other, the Na+ and the Cl-; ions associate together, forming an ionic bond.
As part of his diagnostic testing, baby Sean underwent a sweat chloride test that measures the levels of NaCl in the sweat from the skin on the forearm. How does the bond between NaCl form? When Na donates an electron to Cl, the Na atom becomes a cation and the Cl atom an anion. Since (+) and (-) charges attract each other, the Na+ and the Cl-; ions associate together, forming an ionic bond. The positive Na cation forms a hydrogen bond with the negative Cl anion. Na atoms have a single electron in their valence, while Cl atoms have seven valence electrons. By sharing a pair of atoms and forming a covalent bond, both Cl and Na satisfy their valence shell requirements. Cl atoms only need one electron to complete their valence shells, while Na atoms have a single electron in their valence shells. Na and Cl atoms form a covalent bond by sharing a pair of electrons. But since the Cl atom has a greater electronegativity than the Na atom, the electrons are shared unequally; thus, they form a polar covalent bond.
No, because the atoms have only 6 valence electrons, but need 8 for stability.
Atoms of oxygen have a total of 8 electrons. Are these atoms stable, and why or why not? No, because the atoms have only 6 valence electrons, but need 8 for stability. No, because only atoms with 2 valence electrons are stable. Yes, because oxygen is in the air we breathe and it doesn't hurt us. Yes, because the Octet Rule says stable atoms have 8 electrons.
Digestive enzymes catalyze decomposition reactions of complex food molecules into absorbable fragments; without its enzyme, a substrate cannot be degraded.
Baby Sean has cystic fibrosis, which causes thick mucus secretions that can block ducts like the pancreatic duct, leading to insufficient enzymes in the small intestine. Why are these enzymes important? Digestive enzymes are protein molecules that are required to transport food molecules across the intestinal walls for efficient absorption of nutrients. There are no consequences because there are other enzymes available to catalyze the decomposition reactions. Digestive enzymes catalyze dehydration synthesis reactions that generate important macromolecules like polysaccharides.

Carbon atoms have four valence electrons. Are they likely to react with other atoms, and why or why not? Yes, because they can become more stable by doing so.

The R groups between the amino acids are different
In sickle cell anemia, there is a replacement in the amino acid sequence of hemoglobin of glutamic acid by valine. What is the difference between glutamic acid and valine? The R groups between the amino acids are different. Glutamic acid has a lower pH than valine, so the resulting protein is more acidic. Valine does not form a correct peptide bond. The protein resulting from this substitution binds more oxygen.

the surface tension created by the hydrogen bonds between water molecules kept it from entering the water
On a camping trip, you are sitting by a pond, watching the fire. You observe a particle of ash fall and hit the surface of the water. It sits there for a moment before sinking and dissolving. Why was it able to sit there for a few seconds? The surface tension created by the hydrogen bonds between water molecules kept it from entering the water. The surface tension formed from the hydrogen bonds between water molecules was low. As a result, the ash could not penetrate the water. The carbon in the ash does not interact with hydrogen bonds. The temperature of the ash was so much hotter than the water that it evaporated the water at that spot.

it is the ability of our bodies to break down the linkages between the glucose molecules
Wheat produces starch and cellulose, both of which are polysaccharides. While we rely on one for energy, we cannot digest the other. What causes such a physiological difference in digestion? It is because cellulose is in the stalk and starch is in the seed. The chemical formulas are more complicated for cellulose. There are more glucose molecules linked together in cellulose, making it energetically more difficult to digest.
