[plt-scheme] Understanding lambda

As far as I know the concept of `consant' is not defined in scheme. But 1 and 55 definitiley are (representations of) values (in fact self evaluating values, that is to say, the value of 55 is 55, whereas the value of say 'a-variable-name' can be anything from undefined to a very well defined value)

  Thanks for the help guys , so now i know that  in (define f (lambda(x) (+(* 3 x) 5)))  value of f is a function returned by the lambda expressions.so when i do ( f 1)  or anything as in (f 55) then what are 1 or 55  in this expression , constants or functions?
