WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS?  Organisms are able to survive and function because of buffers. Buffers help minimize changes in PH by accepting H+ if that ion is overabundant and then also sending H+ when there is very little. The buffers help to balance PH out, but sometimes the buffers do not always help in every situation.
