Why is pH regulation important for living beings? How do mineral salts participate in this regulation?
The potential of hydrogen (pH) is a measure of the amount of hydrogen ions (H-) in a solution. The regulation of the pH according to the necessities of each organ or tissue is extremely significant for the organism as enzymes act only under some pH ranges and many proteins are only active under some pH ranges. Thus biochemical reactions depend on correct levels of pH to occur.
Neutral pH is one of the water properties.
