Cells can function?
only in a narrow range of temperature and pH.
What is the difference between universal strips and narrow indicator strips?
Universal strips will show a wide range of pH values, but the color range between pH values is limited. The narrow strips will show a wider range of colors, but won't show you anything outside the range of the pH paper.
Why does pepsin not function well at a pH of 7?
Enzimes are sensitive to pH and function best across a narrow range of pH.
Can cells function only in a narrow range of temperature and pH?
This is generally true. The allowable ranges vary from cell type to cell type, but extremes of temperature and pH will generally kill living cells.
Do enzymes work best at a narrow PH range?
I love halo 3
What is the pH and what is its optimal range in living matter?
actually it is a fruit.
Why use narrow-range pH paper to measure the milk's change in pH?
i have the same question dude i need help with it also not rlly an answer but w.e
How would a lakes and rivers be affected by fluctuating pH?
Marine life can live only in a narrow range of pH of about 6-7.5 which is near to neutral. pH less than 7 is actually acidic and more than 7 is basic but 6 and 7.5 is comparable. In highly acidic or basic pH marine life can't sustain. Therefore fluctuating pH is harmful for marine plants as well as animals
Why is pH necessary?
It is important to know the PH of various substance so as to prevent damage to the human beings and certain materials. The knowledge of PH is also important in environmental and water analysis.
What is the pH of living tissue?
Normal pH in the blood is around 7.4. The same is true in many of the tissues. The range can be slightly higher or lower.
Why are buffers called chemical sponges?
Buffers relating to the process of maintaining ph,Homeostasis is ensured in part by maintaining the ph within the narrow range. biological systems operate within a narrow ph range,this narrow range is maintained by buffers.They commonly occur in ecosystems,particularly in soil and water.where they help to protect against potencially dangerous shifts in ph. Buffers can be likened to hydron-ion sponges.they help in maintaining constant phby removing hydrogen ion from solution when their level increases.They have the ability togive back hydrogen ions when the level falls.In this way they act as a chemical sponge by absorbing and giving back the ions in a solution.
Why is the buffering capacity of organic substances so important to living organisms including humans?
Most enzymes will only work at a specific pH range. A buffer will keep the pH around the enzyme from leaving this range.
