Vinegar is very acidic. Acids can have very negative effects

on living things. Cells have an outer membrane made of lipids. Although

plants also have a cell wall, they need the membrane to survive. In acidic

environments, the molecules that make up the cell membrane break apart,

causing damage to the cells. Also, the H+ ion, what makes acids acidic,

is very small. Because it is small, it can move right through the

membrane. Once inside, it can continue to break up important molecules.

It also causes problems because the proteins inside work best at the normal

pH inside the cell. H+ decreases the pH, and thus stops some of the

necessary reactions.
