Question

Why pH is important in both plants and animals?

Answer 1

Answer:

pH plays an important role in many activities of our everyday life. pH of a solution is inversely proportional to the concentration of hydrogen ions in it. pH of a solution tells whether the solution is acidic or not. So, we can say that it is important for the survival of plants and animals.

Answer 2

The pH is important because it influences the availability of essential nutrients. Most horticultural crops will grow satisfactorily in soils having a pH between 6 (slightly acid) and 7.5 (slightly alkaline). ... For most plants, however, a soil pH below 6.0 is undesirable.
