Enzymes have a optimum pH as well as temperature. If the conditions are not appropriate for the enzyme then they will become denatured and will be unable to carry out chemical essential to the cell's development. In short either with a too acidic or alkaline cell, it won't function correctly.

What is a pH indicators?
A pH indicator is a halochromic chemical compound that is added in small amounts to a solution so that the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the solution can be determined easily. Normally, the indicator causes the colour of the solution to change depending on the pH.
What is the process in which DNA from one type of cell causes an inheritable change in a second type of cell?
Transformation.
What leads to declining cell division rates?
Changes in pH, changes in temperature, and even declining nutrient levels are all causes of declining cell division.
When does betacyanin diffuse out of a cell?
betacyanin is actually encased in a membrane-bound vacuole which is encased inside the beet cell itself, so im not sure if it actually "diffuses" out but if there is an environmental change,like change in temp., pH change, salt concentration change, etc., the beet cell membrane can be damaged and the betacyanin would then leak out
How alkalinity change with change with pH?
the higher the pH, the more alkaline the substance is. :)
What causes pH level change in rivers?
pollutions, chemicals
What is ph of neon molecule?
Neon is a monatomic gas, it dissovles slightly in water but causes no change to the pH as it is completely inert.
What causes pH levels to change in wetlands?
Acid rain most likely.
What causes cell to change shape?
microtubules
What things may change the rate of chemical reactions in a cell?
temperature and pH
What causes a high PH level?
What causes a high PH level in the blood
How does bacteria affect the pH in milk?
Bacteria in milk causes milk to sour by changing lactose to lactic acid. This causes the pH to drop and once the pH drops low enough, the proteins in the milk will curdle.

How is a change in hydrogen ion concentration reflected in the pH?
pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration; so an increase in hydrogen ion concentration give a reduction in pH. A reduction in hydrogen ion concentration causes an increase in pH.
What is the pH of a red blood cell?
human red blood cell has a pH of 7.4
What leads to declining cell division rates?
Changes in pH, changes in temperature, and even declining nutrient levels are all causes of declining cell division.
