The number of neutrons in an atom is equal to the mass number minus the atomic number. Thus, sulfur has 32 - 16
= 16 neutrons. The atomic number indicates the number of protons, so a neutral sulfur atom contains 16 protons
plus 16 electrons to balance the protons electrically. The electrons would be distributed as follows: 2 in the first
electron shell, 8 in the second, and the remaining 6 in the third. To achieve a full 8 electrons in the third (outermost)
electron shell, the sulfur atom can accept 2 electrons in an ionic bond or can share 2 electrons in a covalent bond.
Because hydrogen atoms can share one electron in a covalent bond, the sulfur atom can form two covalent bonds
with hydrogen, one with each of two hydrogen atoms. In chemical notation, this is H 2S.
164) Buffer systems help maintain pH within normal limits by removing or replacing hydrogen ions as needed.
165) Homeostasis requires that the pH of body fluids be maintained almost constant to avoid disruptions of healthy
function. To accomplish this, the urinary system eliminates or retains hydrogen ion as needed. These actions cause
the pH of urine to vary widely, depending on whether there is too much or not enough hydrogen ion in the body.
166) Water molecules are removed in the dehydration synthesis of polysaccharides.
167) The DNA molecule controls the synthesis of enzymes and structural proteins. By controlling the synthesis of
structural proteins, the DNA is able to influence the physical appearance of a cell. By controlling the production of
enzymes, the DNA is able to control all aspects of cellular metabolism and thus control the activity and biological
functions of the cell.
