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.
Major Challenges in an Alkaline Environment. Cells face many challenges in an alkaline environment. Of greatest significance is the ability to maintain internal pH. If cells are to survive in an alkaline environment, they must make their cytoplasm more acidic to buffer the alkalinity. In addition, enzymesâboth excreted and surface located - must be resistant to the effects of extreme pH. Finally, the pH gradient must be reversed to carry out ATP synthesis.
