All living organisms need to maintain homeostasis in terms of pH
|
|
|
The samples came in liquid form

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Buffers are extremely important to living organisms because most biochemical processes proceed normally only when the pH remains within a fairly narrow range. An excess of H+ or OH-can interfere with the structure and activity of many biomolecules, especially proteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Buffers are necessary for the survival of living cells. This is because buffers keep a liquid’s pH in balance. The cell is made up of a variety of proteins, each of which functions only when it is in its right three-dimensional structure.
