<span>Buffers. Buffers are chemicals that maintain pH at a very specific range. This is because buffers have an equilibrium that they will maintain that is very stable. If there are too many hydrogen ions (acidic), then buffers will sweep them up and hold onto them. If there are not enough ions in the matrix (basic) then the buffers will release the hydrogen ions and maintain a stable pH.</span>

Cells in a large multicellular organism communicate with each other by chemical signals. These signals are passed from one cell
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Cells in a large multicellular organism communicate with each other by chemical signals. These signals are passed from one cell to another. To receive and respond to a chemical signal, a cell must have a <u><em>receptor</em></u> for that chemical.

Explanation:

To generate a physiological response, all cells in the body have special proteins called receptors. These receptors are involved in detecting a chemical signal and generating a response. The receptors are specific for different kind of chemical signals. For example, a dopamine receptor will bind a dopamine molecule whereas an insulin receptor will be able to bind an insulin molecule. Apart from chemical signals, some cells might also respond to mechanical signals.
