Answer the following question: Answer the following question given this paragraph: Buffers are solutions that maintain a relatively constant pH when an acid or a base is added. They therefore protect, or "buffer," other molecules in solution from the effects of the added acid or base. Buffers contain either a weak acid (HA) and its conjugate base (A) or a weak base (B) and its conjugate acid (BH+), and they are critically important for the proper functioning of biological systems. In fact, every biological fluid is buffered to maintain its physiological pH. Q: What are solutions that maintain a relatively constant ph when an acid or a base is added? Choices: - gases - water - liquids - buffer A:
Answer:
buffer
