Why is pH important in cellular processes?

Ph is important for normal cell formation due to the fact that cells are very delicate. They roughly sit at a neutral pH level of 7.3-7.4. Even the slightest change in a pH level can cause serious consequences such as the destruction of the cell or even death of the organism. Every organism takes part in various chemical reactions that give or use up H. For this level to stay constant a buffer comes into play to maintain the cells normal pH level. It does this by accepting or releasing H.
