I lost 21 pounds in my first 8 weeks on The Colorado Diet and was surprised at how easy it was to lose. I never felt deprived, actually ate more food than I had in the pastâ¦ and week after week, the pounds just came off. Praise for the State of Slim.
Also called: buffer solution a solution containing such a compound 4. (Computer Science) computing a memory device for temporarily storing data 5. buffâ¢er1 (ËbÊf Ér) n. 1. an apparatus at the end of a railroad car, railroad track, etc., for absorbing shock during coupling, collisions, etc.
There are three buffer systems-Protein buffer system, phoshate buffer system and bicarbonate buffer system. Among this, bicarbonate buffer system is the most predominant. Buffers function as shock absorbers that accept excess H+ ions or OH-ions and keep blood pH constant. For example, if there is an increase in acidity of blood due to excess HCl (a strong acid), then NaHCO3 (Sodium bicarbonate) will buffer it to a weak acid (H2CO3).
