Answer:

A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base., thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges.

A buffer is an aqueous solution that has a highly stable pH. A buffering agent is a weak acid or weak base that helps maintain the pH of an aqueous solution after adding another acid or base. ... Similarly, adding water to a buffer or allowing water to evaporate will not change the pH of a buffer.

Where do the catabolic products of fatty acid breakdown enter into the citric acid cycle?
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

acetyl CoA

Explanation:

The break down of free fatty acid or fatty acid degradation is the process in which fatty acids are broken down into their basic metabolites. The process of degradation includes three steps:

1. Lipolysis of fat stores of and release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue

2. Process of activation and transport into mitochondria catalyzed by the enzyme fatty acyl-CoA synthetase.

3. β-oxidation-formation of final product - acetyl-CoA which is the entry molecule for the citric acid cycle.
