Question

question 9 (2.5 points)
what category of compounds helps our body fluids to stay within a consistent ph range?
solvents
buffers
solutes
acids
bases

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Buffers are solutions that resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. They help maintain the pH of body fluids within a narrow range, which is crucial for proper physiological function. Solvents (like water) dissolve substances but don't specifically regulate pH. Solutes are just dissolved substances. Acids lower pH and bases raise pH, but they don't act as regulators like buffers do.

Answer:

B. buffers
