Enzyme activity is affected by the pH levels. Extreme values in pH can deactivate and even destroy enzymes and cause damage to structural proteins.

Some things can live at acidic conditions, others can not. We dont want the pH to be the cause of the failure if it really wthe material being experimented on.

Because pH is so important to a living cell or other living things. All of them have a limited range of pH (for surrounding) where they can live. If u're not controlling pH, cells, or other living things can die.... hehe

you need to keep reactions at physiological pH. Blood has a buffer system set up in it and buffers mimic that

If you don't your biology experiment will be skew and could result in you failing or the death of the living part of the experiment.
