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