Chapter 2, Problem 4AYKB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The working of a buffer system in maintaining the pH of body fluid when it increases. Also, determine whether it is an example of positive or negative feedback.
Introduction:
A buffer is a chemical system that balances the concentration of the hydrogen ions in case of excess acid or base. The buffer systems in the blood are extremely efficient in maintaining the blood and body fluid’s pH. Different systems work at different rates to regulate the pH.
