Do buffers aid or hinder the maintenance of homeostasis within a living cell in a changing environment?

Asked by savannadrach

Answer (3)

A buffer helps keep the pH of a substance from changing. Buffers therefore aid in homeostasis, which is the same as maintaining balance. Hope this helps!

Buffers are critical for maintaining homeostasis in living cells by stabilizing pH levels, which is vital for normal cellular functions. They absorb excess hydrogen ions or release them as needed to prevent harmful pH fluctuations. Buffers like bicarbonate and phosphate systems work together to regulate pH in response to metabolic changes and environmental shifts.
