Phosphate buffer is a buffer used in many types of reactions with the function to maintain constant pH value.

This is important because enzymes’ activity is affected by changes in pH. There is an optimum pH for every enzyme that can be defined as most favorable pH value or the point where the enzyme is most active. Phosphate buffer is often use in the measurement of enzyme’s activity because it is isotonic and non-toxic to most cells.

Dynamic regulation is required for maintaining homeostasis.Explain how a cellular mechanism that regulates the quantity of a bio

Troyanec [42]

The homeostasis of the human body works like a machine set at a particular standard. If the factors deviate from the standard values, the homeostatic mechanism come into action.

For example, if a cell requires certain protein, the respective genes get a signal and get activated. The cell start synthesizing the protein and when sufficient amount is made, there is a feedback loop, which allows the same protein to stop the synthesis as well. A lot of organs and cellular systems are involved in regulating the synthesis of this protein.

This is similar to the cooling system. If we set the temperature of the cooling system to certain degree, it will start cooling the room till the required temperature is reached. As soon as the temperature is acquired, the system cut-off automatically and the required temperature is maintained.
