Explain how the chemical buffer systems resist changes in pH.

Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which of the following is a chemical buffer system that helps maintain Ph in the body. Is it answer choice. A protein buffer system. Answer choice B nervous buffer system. Answer choice C skeletal buffer system or answer choice D reproductive buffer system. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following types of buffer systems helps maintain ph in the body. So when it comes to a type of chemical buffer system that helps maintain ph in the body, we know that the Ph of the body can be maintained by proteins that contain amino acid residues of which those amino acid residues act as weak acids or base to help stabilize the Ph by accepting or donating hydrogen ions. And so the ph of the body can be maintained by a buffer system that involves those proteins. So the name of the buffer system is a protein buffer system which means that answer choice. A protein buffer system is the correct answer since the protein buffer system plays a crucial role in maintaining the Ph in the body. And answer choice BC and D are all incorrect since they are not correct buffer systems. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
