Question

Which of the following is correct why proteins have buffering effects in cells?
A, because they polar
B, because they are amphoteric
C, because they form colloidal solution
D, because they contain basic amino acid
E, none of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

D, because they contain basic amino acid

Explanation:

if the inside of a cell gets too acidic or too basic, then proteins begin to lose their shape and no longer work. The cell becomes like a factory without workers and without repairmen. Therefore, buffers inside a cell prevent this from happening.
