Q: Proper kidney function is essential for homeostasis of what level, which in turn helps ensure the functioning of enzymes?


Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers:

pH Regulation Recall that enzymes lose their three-dimensional conformation and, therefore, their function if the pH is too acidic or basic. This loss of conformation may be a consequence of the breaking of hydrogen bonds. Move the pH away from the optimum for a specific enzyme and you may severely hamper its function throughout the body, including hormone binding, central nervous system signaling, or myocardial contraction. Proper kidney function is essential for pH homeostasis.

 Choices:

- oxygen

- calcium

- ions

- ph


A:
ph
