Gastric juice is made up of substances secreted from parietal cells, chief cells, and mucous-secreting cells. The cells secrete HCl, proteolytic enzyme zymogens, mucin, and intrinsic factor. The pH of gastric juice is acidic, between 1–3. If the pH of gastric juice is 1.1, what is the amount of energy (AG) required for the transport of hydrogen ions from a cell (internal pH of 7.4) into the stomach lumen? Assume that the potential difference across the membrane separating the cell and the interior of the stomach is –60.0 mV (inside of the cell is negative relative to the lumen of the stomach). Assume that the temperature is 37 °C. The Faraday constant is 96.5 kJ/(V-mol) and the gas constant is 8.314 × 10-3 kJ/(mol-K). Express your answer in kilojoules per mole. AG = kJ/mol

A substance that functions to prevent rapid, drastic changes in the pH of a body fluid by changing strong acids and bases into weak acids and bases is called an: a.salt. b.buffer. c.enzyme. d.coenzyme.
When handling or storing solutions of enzymes, the pH is usually kept near 7.0. Explain why.
Region/point where AA is predominantly present as a (-1) charged species? The effective buffering range for the amino acid in the acidic region? Region/point where the solution has 50:50 percent mixture of the (0) and (-1) species
If the concentration of an acid in solution is 2.3 times larger than the concentration of its conjugate base, and the pH of the solution is 4.9, what is the pKa of the acid?
Aspirin is a weak acid with a pKa of 3.5 (see figure below). To be absorbed into the bloodstream, it must pass through the membrane lining the stomach and small intestines. Absorption requires passage through the plasma membrane, the rate of which is determined by the polarity of the molecule: charged and highly polar molecules pass slowly whereas neutral hydrophobic ones pass rapidly. The pH of the stomach contents is about 1.5 and that of the contents of the small intestines is about 6
Which three statements accurately describe the blood buffering system in humans? - The blood buffering system utilizes the H2CO3/HCO3– conjugate acid/base pair. - The blood buffering system utilizes the acetic acid/acetate conjugate acid/base pair. - The blood buffering system is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid, ionizing into bicarbonate and H+ . - The blood buffering system maintains the pH of blood near 7.4. - The blood buffering system depends on the ionization of H2PO4– .
Write general equations showing the ionization of a protein in acid medium and in basic medium. What medium favors acid ionization? Basic ionization?
Where is the effective buffering range for this amino acid in the acidic region?
Corn, a highly adaptable crop grows abundantly in some parts of the Philippines. For optimum growth it required a soil pH of atleast 5.8 - 7.0. If corn is to be planted in an acidic soil, will corn grow and thrive? why or why not?

Draw the sequential transition of glutamic acid as it passes from its fully protonated form to its fully deprotonated form as the pH rises. If the pH of an amino acid solution is lowered by adding an acid, like , the group of glutamic acid accepts the proton, acid, to form a positive ion.
Back to basics: Remember that the body’s acid-base balance depends on delicately balanced chemical reactions that require the pH of blood to remain slightly alkaline within a normal range of 7.35-7.45. For normal cell function and metabolism, the blood’s pH must stay within this narrow range. A pH greater than 7.45 creates alkaline conditions and a pH lower than 7.35 is too acidic for the body. The cause of acid-base imbalances is either respiratory or metabolic in origin. We talked about respiratory imbalances due to CO2 concentration and pH in Chapter 9. One of the triggering condition for a fusion of Coronovirus (COVID-19) with a human cell is an acidified environment on the surface of the cell. In other words, the virus needs a low pH environment and thrives in it. Once the patient starts experiencing some coughing and minor trouble with breathing, the lungs begin to lose the capacity to eliminate CO2 from the blood stream. Once this happens the virus can spiral very quickly out…
