The pH inside cells is normally near pH 7. At pH 7 which statement is true about the charges (ionization state) of the α-Carboxyl and α-Amino groups of an amino acid?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. The α-Carboxyl group is 1- and the α-Amino group is 1+.

  2. The α-Carboxyl group is 1+ and the α-Amino group is 1-.

  3. The α-Carboxyl group is 1- and the α-Amino group is uncharged.

  4. Both groups are uncharged (not ionized) at pH 7.

Listed below are the hydrostatic and oncotic pressures within a microcirculatory bed:

Plasma colloid osmotic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Capillary hydrostatic pressure = 25 mm Hg

Venous hydrostatic pressure = 5 mm Hg

Arterial pressure = 80 mm Hg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure = −5 mm Hg

Interstitial colloid osmotic pressure = 10 mm Hg

Capillary filtration coefficient = 10 ml/min/mm Hg
