Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The pH of most human cells should be between what two numbers?
A
6-8
B
0-14
C
7-14
D
7-8
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Physiologically normal intracellular pH is most commonly between 7.0 and 7.4, though there is variability between tissues (e.g., mammalian skeletal muscle tends to have a pHi of 6.8–7.1). There is also pH variation across different organelles, which can span from around 4.5 to 8.0.

Detailed explanation-2: -A pH greater than 7 is basic. The pH scale is logarithmic and as a result, each whole pH value below 7 is ten times more acidic than the next higher value.

Detailed explanation-3: -The normal values range from pH 4.6 to 8.0. The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories.

Detailed explanation-4: -The range goes from 0-14, with 7 being neutral. pHs of less than 7 indicate acidity, whereas a pH of greater than 7 indicates a base.
