Bacteria in the human mouth release enzymes to break up sucrose, and then polymerize glucose to form a bacterial plaque. When this glucose is digested, it forms lactic acid, which causes tooth decay. Tooth enamel is made of calcium phosphate. Lactic acid has a Ka 1.38x10-4 and ionizes into lactate and H3O+ ions. Assuming an initial lactic acid concentration of 0.10 mol/L on your tooth, determine the pH (assume a 1:1:1 mole ratio) and the percent ionization. Should people be concerned with plaque buildup? Justify your answer.

Microtubular fibers that assist in the movement of chromosomes during nuclear division in conjunction with proteins, makes up the small and large organelle pieces that assemble prior to translation three-base nucleotide sequence that can complementarily pair with the functional transcript, allowing a particular material to be brought to a ribosome particular time in the cell cycle when the cell’s systems determine if the cellular conditions are appropriate to continue through the cycle time in the cell’s cycle when proteins are made and organelles are duplicated enzyme that allows proper nucleotide bonding during transcription specific dna sequence which will initiate gene transcription division of the cell’s cytoplasm specific bond that forms between two amino acids when a carboxyl group binds to a amino group three-base sequence that does not code for a particular amino acid a paired organelle which facilitates the formation of movement microtubules time in the cell’s cycle when the microtubular structures exert an equal pressure on the cell’s genetic material
