Question

why artificial cytoplasm is a buffer
withing the functions of buffers simulation, why can you deduce that artificial cytoplasm is a buffer?
multiple choice
the artificial cytoplasm reacted much like water when acid was added.
the ph of the artificial cytoplasm changed drastically when acid was added, but not when water was added.
the ph of the artificial cytoplasm increased instead of decreasing when acid was added.
the ph of the artificial cytoplasm changed considerably more than the ph of the buffer solution in the experiment.
the artificial cytoplasm resisted changes in ph when acid was added.

Explanation:

Buffers resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added. The key characteristic of a buffer is maintaining a relatively stable pH. The option that aligns with this property is the one where the artificial cytoplasm resists changes in pH when acid is added.

Answer:

The artificial cytoplasm resisted changes in pH when acid was added.
