Regulation of Tissue PH in Plants and Animals: A Reappraisal of Current Techniques

by E.W. Taylor and John A. Raven

Book Overview

The maintenance of a stable acid-base status within biological tissue is a fundamental homeostatic process in all organisms, necessary to preserve the metabolic function of proteins and other macromolecules. The study of acid-base regulation has advanced enormously over recent decades due to the development of increasingly accurate and sensitive techniques for measuring acid-base variables. This volume brings together contributions from leading comparative...
