Organisms survive at certain pH levels. If the environment is too acidic or severely basic, it can wear away at their cellular structures, causing the organisms to die.
Because that is what is needed for maintaining homeostasis in the body. Our blood is slightly alkaline in order to do its job properly. If the blood were more acidic, with a lower pH level, we would be prone to more diseases.
Kidneys have the most significant role in regulating the blood PH level by controlling the excretion and reabsorbtion of the main acids and bases.
pH deterimes whether certain organisms can survive in certain water.

The general pH level for most humans are between 7.35-7.45
The pH level in humans is about 7.4 for most cellular functions
7.4-7.6
All organisms need water to survive. water helps homeostasis of an organism's body and acts as a universal solvent for the body's pH.
It is important for a fish aquarium owner to purchase a ph probe for their tank. It helps measure the pH levels in the water. Certain types of fish will only survive in water with a certain pH level and one would need to know what their tank pH level is for their fish to survive.
pH is important aspect of soil fertility because the level of pH will will influence what kind of organisms that will live in the soil. These can affect how the plants grow since each plant has an optimum pH level in which it will flourish.
The maximal growth pH ranges for bacteria are well defined hence to make a medium which meets the requirements of most bacteria a neutral pH is used. 7.3+-0.2 This pH allows for most organisms to survive even though this pH may not allow for optimized growth. Hence it is at this pH to allow relatively good growth of different microbes.
A pH of 1 is most acidic. The acid in your stomach is about a 2 and it is strong enough to burn a hole in a rug.
From pH 6 - pH 0. pH 0 being the most acidic.
