Epilepsy is a relatively common disorder, affecting between 0.5-1% of the population, and frontal lobe epilepsy accounts for about 1-2% of all epilepsies. The most common subdivision of epilepsy is symptomatic partial epilepsy, which causes simple partial seizures, and can be
The internal pH of most cells is near neutral. A) water to break down into H+ and OH-. B) rapid fluctuations between acidic and basic conditions within the cells. C) the buffers produced within the body to affect these cells. D) enzymes outside of these cells to function. E) enzymes within the cell to act at peak efficiency.
How do acidophiles regulate their pH? Normally, high acid levels destroy cells. However, acidophiles have evolved a variety of specialized mechanisms to maintain their internal cellular pH at a constant level (usually 7.2). These mechanisms include passive regulation (not requiring the cell to expend energy) and active regulation (requiring energy).
