Answer:

Because most enzymes can only function at a specific amount of acidity, acids and bases are crucial to the existence of living things. Acids and bases are secreted by cells to maintain the ideal pH for enzyme activity. For instance, your digestive tract uses acids and bases whenever you digest food.

Explanation:

Think about the stomach's acidic environment. Food digestion is aided by the acidic environment. Only in a low pH environment can the pepsin enzyme perform at its best, which aids in the digestion of protein in the stomach. Strong stomach acid is secreted, enabling the stomach to function and pepsin to complete its job. But the acid needs to be neutralized when stomach contents reach the small intestine. This is so that the small intestine's enzymes can function, which requires a basic environment. A strong base that is sent into the small intestine by a gland called the pancreas neutralizes the acid.
