Proteins are the essential group of biological molecules in the organisms.The shape of protein is essential for its function and it depends on lot of factors, one of that factors is pH. The change in pH changes its shape ultimately its function is affected. Such as altered protein performs alternate/unwanted/no functions which is not good for the normal functioning of the organism and some times it even leads to the death of the organism.

∙ 9y agopH is important to living organisms because organisms can only live when the pH is at a certain level. If an environment is too acidic or too alkaline an organism will not be able to live.

∙ 9y agopH is very important in living systems because it regulates biological processes. Digestion would not be possible if the pH of stomach acid was the same as the food.

Why is it important that living things maintain constant internal temperature and pH values?
Other wise they die !
What is the lowest pH level that living things can survive?

What is a pH of a Neutral solution like pure water?
A neutral solution has a pH value of exactly 7 (at 25oC).See the Related Questions to the for more information about acids, bases and the pH scale.Neutral is neither acid (< 7) nor base (> 7), hence the name neutralThe pH value of 7.0 is considered to be neutral. Pure water has a pH of 7.0Typically a pH of 7 is considered "neutral" since it is the pH of water.7Actually that's at 25 Degree CAt 37 degrees C (body temp) its 7.4
What three things are critical to enzyme function?
Three things are: *Temperature *pH *substrate concentration
Why is water such an important molecule?
The important thing about this is that water is neutral.the water is a present and has living molecules.Another AnswerWater is a natural solvent. The specific arrangement of the hydrogen and oxygen atoms allow a water molecule to be polarized. One side holds a net negative charge while the other side holds a net positive charge. This arrangement allows water to dissolve biodegradable things. When something is dissolved into water, it is dispersed into the volume of water through diffusion. Since water can do this, it becomes fundamental to the feeding/waste cycle of all living things on Earth.

What changes the pH of water making it harmful for living things?
Absorption of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere modify the pH of waters; also the pollution from human activities.
What is the pH inside living things?
pH of about 7, except for in stomachs and digestive tracts
What is the lowest pH level that living things can survive?

Changes the pH of water making it harmful to living things?
Yes, it is true; minor changes in pH may be very harmful for some living beings; for example due to the absorption of carbon dioxide in ocean waters the pH was increased (an anthropic cause) and the negative influence on the marine fauna is observed.
What is the pH level that needs to be maintained by all living things?
7
Why is pH important in bilogy?
pH deterimes whether certain organisms can survive in certain water.
What to do to control the PH of the water for tropical fish?
There are a couple of things you can do to control the pH of the water for tropical fish. You can for example drain the water and start over.
What are abiotic parts of an ecosystem?
water (in solid, liquid, and gaseous form) soil air minerals, chemical elements, and inorganic carbon compunds gravity sunlight rock sand radiation lightning fire pH of water temperature pebbles frost precipitation moisture climate
Which answer is a true statement about pH valuesPure water has a pH of 0 pH is important in life mainly because it affects the cohesion of water A high pH corresponds to a high H plus concentration?
Pure water has a pH=7.High pH correspond to high OH- concentration.
What types of things change the pH of water?
it chages bn
Is PH tested water safe to put in soil?
It may, or it may not. An unbalanced pH is not the only potential problem in water. It may be contaminated by things that don't change the pH.
