Answer:

A. Buffers absorb excess hydrogen and hydroxide ions to prevent increases or decrease in pH. An example is the bicarbonate system in human body.

Explanation:

In nature, buffer is a known to be a solution capable of maintaining the pH of an ionic solution i.e. resist alteration to the acidic or basic content, by neutralizing excess hydrogen ions (H+) or hydroxyll ions (OH-) added to it.

Buffers, with the aid of their weak acid/conjugate base or weak base/conjugate acid, absorb/react with excess hydrogen and hydroxide ions to prevent increases or decrease in pH. An example of buffer in humans is the bicarbonate buffer system in that maintains stable pH in the human blood.

What would happen if photosynisis stoped happing on earth
Neporo4naja [7]

We can confirm that the absence of photosynthesis on Earth would cause a mass extinction of most of the species on the planet.

<h3 /><h3>Why would the absence of photosynthesis be so harmful?</h3>

The process of photosynthesis is extremely important as it produces oxygen as a byproduct. The absence of this process on Earth would limit the available oxygen in the atmosphere which would at some point be entirely consumed. From then on, most species on the planet would die out as they require oxygen to live. Most plant species would also die off as they use photosynthesis to sustain life.

Therefore, we can confirm that the absence of photosynthesis on planet Earth could be considered an apocalyptic event as it would cause a near-complete extinction of life on the planet.
