Chapter 25.5, Problem 20WDL

(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain:

The general amount of time required to maintain (a) $\text{pH}$ by chemical buffering systems (b) $\text{pH}$ by physiological buffer systems, and amount of time off required to (c) $\text{pH}$ inside kidney cells.

Concept introduction:

The chemical buffering systems include the maintenance of the $\text{pH}$ by the release of the hydrogen ions in the cell. The equilibrium gets shifted within seconds in the chemical buffer systems.

This physiological buffer system release the excessive acids and base from the body in the form of gases and therefore the maintenance of the $\text{pH}$ takes several minutes to days in the human body.

To explain:

The general amount of time required to maintain $\text{pH}$ by chemical buffering systems.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To explain The amount of time required to maintain $\text{pH}$ by the physiological buffer systems.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain The general amount of time required to maintain the $\text{pH}$ inside kidney organ.
