Answer:

Proteins

Explanation:

In the past, scientists believed that DNA was stored in proteins. Today we know that this is not true. The DNA is stored in the cell nucleus.

Proteins have an extensive list of functions in the body and are found in all cell structures, interstitial substances, antibodies, among others. Among the functions that can be attributed to proteins, its role in transporting oxygen (hemoglobin), in protecting the body against pathogenic organisms (antibodies), as a catalyst for chemical reactions (enzymes), membrane receptor, acting in contraction muscle (actin and myosin), besides being fundamental for the growth and formation of hormones.

olga55 [171]

The question is not complete but it can be answered in general as the plants cannot survive in acidic conditions.

Answer: High acidity is harmful to this type of plant.

Explanation:

The plants that were kept in the higher acidic conditions are less likely to grow in higher acidic conditions.

The plants that were kept in more basic conditions will also not grow properly as the pH of the soil should be neutral, slightly acidic or slightly basic.

The plants that was kept as a control on the pH of 7 will grow the best as the pH is optimum for the growth of the plants.

The conclusion is high acidity is harmful for the life of the plants.

Chemistry/ Example: Take breathing for example, when you breath you breath out carbon dioxide. The CO2 can't just leave like that and only 10% binds to hemoglobin. The rest turns into carbonic acid in your blood and its plasma. However, the acid is unstable, so it turns into bicarbonate and a dissociated proton (H). You have carbonic anhydrase that converts the two so you can breath out CO2; the carbonic acid separates into H2O and CO2. This process would take a LONG time without the enzyme-- CO2 build up, even minimal amounts it lethal.
