Q

Look at the equilibrium curve for the reaction of HA(aq) <==> H+(aq) + A-(aq)

Q

Our blood is able to maintain a pH of about 7.5 because our body acts like a buffer solution. Regulating pH is crucial so that our protein structures remain intact and functional. Which statement about protein in the human body is not correct?

A

Protein consists partially of amine groups that are neutral as a result of protonation (of one H + ion).
