Buffer solutions resist any major change in pH. This is important to many parts of life, where a stable pH in a very small range is necessary to a massive list of processes taht allow life to function. If the pH of these was even slightly off, it could completely prevent the system and lifeform from functioning, effectively killing it. Buffers can stop this from occuring. A very good example of why buffers are important is the blood: dissolved carbon dioxide results in formation of acid, which can damage the ability of the blood to carry oxygen. The buffer in the plasma slows the rate of acidosis by a huge margin, allowing the body more time to correct whatever is wrong with it without risking serious or permanent damage.

Why are buffers important for maintaining aquarium life?
Buffers are important because they control the PH or "acidic" balance.
What are the important buffers in our body?
There are many buffers in the body. These buffers can be found in the mouth and in the stomach to aid in digestion.
What types of buffer are used for hplc?
Common types of buffers used for HPLC include phosphate buffers, acetate buffers, citrate buffers, and ammonium acetate buffers. These buffers help to maintain the pH of the mobile phase, stabilize analytes, and provide consistent elution profiles. It's important to choose the right buffer based on the pH requirements of the analytes being analyzed.
How is the pH level of a substance affected by buffers and why are buffers important in the human body?
Buffers "slow" changes in pH (they make it difficult to change pH), and for animals a constant pH (internally) is critical to survival. (A change in pH of 1 - in either direction - will kill you.)
Where are pH buffers found?
See this link for a list of buffers.
When did Buffers Evolution happen?
Buffers Evolution happened in 1999.
What is a buffers function in regards to normal cell formation.?
Buffers do play a very important part in cell function. With out buffers cells could die. This is why buffers are put in affect. A buffer is a compound used to release H or accept it to change the cells H concentration.
How are buffers formed?
Different buffers are formed in different ways. Heat buffers are formed by creating a physical substances in most cases for example.

What are weak acids or weak bases that can react with strong acids or bases to keep the pH?
Solutions containing these mixtures are called buffers.
When was Buffers Evolution created?

When was Protocol Buffers created?
Protocol Buffers was created on 2008-07-07.
