In buffer solution there is an equilibrium between the acid HA and its conjugate base A⁻: HA(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq).
When acid (H⁺ ions) is added to the buffer solution, the equilibrium is shifted to the left, because conjugate base (A⁻) reacts with hydrogen cations from added acid, according to Le Chatelier's principle: H⁺(aq) + A⁻(aq) ⇄ HA(aq). So, the conjugate base (A⁻) consumes some hydrogen cations and pH is not decreasing (less H⁺ ions, higher pH of solution).
A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.
Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable
Yes, because cotton is a plant and then the cotton is then made into a ball of yarn.
The key enzyme in the regulation of the citric acid cycle is citrate synthase. It functions in the mitochondria.
<h3>Citrate synthase and cellular respiration </h3>
Cellular respiration is a series of reactions that produce ATP by using the energy stores in the chemical bonds of foods.
Cellular respiration is divided into glycolysis, the citric-acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
Citrate synthase is an enzyme found in the mitochondrial matrix, which is involved in the citric acid cycle.

Most rocks that we encounter in our normal everyday lives are sedimentary rocks. Sedimentary rocks are rocks that have been worn down gradually over long periods of time. Because it takes very long periods of time (couple decades) for these rocks to change, it often seems as if they don't change at all, when in reality the change is too small for us to realize it!
