How pH Affects Cells and Digestion

Description

Acids, bases, and pH help control how cells and body systems work. In biology, pH can strongly affect enzymes, proteins, and nucleic acids. Enzymes work best within a certain pH range, and pH changes can alter their structure or denature them, which changes how they function.

Acids release hydrog...

Transcript

Les acides sont des composés qui se dissocient en ions hydrogène et en anions correspondants dans des solutions aqueuses. Ils sont également appelés donneurs de protons car le H+ est un proton solitaire.

Lorsque les acides se dissolvent, ils augmentent la concentration d’ions hydrogène dans la solution, abaissant ainsi le pH.
