### foundation:

Basis
* Bases accept a hydrogen ion
  - protons in chemical reaction
* Bases are a type of molecule or biochemical
  - able to bond with hydrogen
  - alkaline and have a bitter taste
  - any compound that release the hydroxide ion, usually in an aqueous solution
  - basic because they take or accept protons
  - complementary and can bind with their counterpart in a process known as base-pairing
* Bases are compounds that contain atoms of a metal and one or more hydroxyl groups
  - corrosive and react violently with acids
  - generally compounds that can neutralize an amount of acids
  - made to have amorphous areas that are porous to wax
  - metal oxides or hydroxides or amines
  - molecules that take up hydrogen ions or release hydroxide ions
  - oxides or hydroxides of metal
  - proton acceptors
  - solutions that have a higher concentration of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
* Bases are substances that accept protons from acids
  - are located lower down on the pH scale
  - react with certain metal to produce hydrogen gas
* Bases are the letters that spell out genetic code
  - opposite of acids
  - typically water solutions of alkali hydroxides such as sodium or potassium hydroxide
  - usually metal oxides and hydroxides
* Bases can be weak like milk of magnesia or strong like some oven cleaners
  - neutralize acids , and strong bases like lime are corrosive
  - cause color changes in acid-base indicators
  - change the chemical structure of the cabbage so that it reflects more green light waves
  - commonly dissociate to form hydroxyl ions which combine with hydrogen ions to form water
  - consist of a metal and a hydroxide
* Bases contain a combination of hydrogen and oxygen atoms called hydroxyl groups
  - denature protein
  - dissolve in acid and turn red litmus blue
  - give hydroxyl ions when treated with water
* Bases have a hydroxide ion combined with a metal
  - whole set of properties dependent on the hydroxide ion
  - more OH- ions than acids
  - no strong taste in foods, and often feel slippery or soapy to the touch
  - neutralize acids in neutralization reaction
* Bases react with acids to form water and a salt
  - neutralize each other at a fast rate both in water and in alcohol
  - litmus to produce distinctive colors
  - release hydroxide into water solution
  - work much the same with acid dyes
* Many bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
* Most bases absorb heat
  - contain acid
  - have surfaces
* Some bases contain ovules
  - pigment
* are assumptions
  - explanations
* are part of coordinate systems
  - parts
* is the relationship between the local cash price and a futures contract price for a commodity.
* list scheduling algorithm which is controlled by a heuristic rating function.
* term used in figuring depreciation.
+ Base (chemistry), Importance: Chemistry
+ DNA replication: Cell biology :: DNA
  * The double helix is unwound and each strand acts as a template. Bases are matched to synthesize the new partner strands.

### foundation | basis:

Data basis
* Data bases are an integral part of many software systems
  - can vary greatly in the degree to which personal information is identifiable
* Most data bases present a single value for a specific nutrient in a specific food.

Strong basis
* Strong bases are able to form stable compounds by combining with a strong acid.
* Strong bases are strong electrolytes and dissociate completely in solution
* Strong bases dissociate completely into metals ions and OH- in aqueous solns
  - or react completely with water to give hydroxide ions
  - have a caustic action on the skin
  - produce hydroxide ions stoichiometrically in water
