Oil would be a good substitute in recipes requiring melted butter, just remember that butter is 10-20% water. In pie crusts, pastries, and biscuits, you build up layers of dough and butter when you roll and knead them, and this is what creates a flaky dough.
Confidence votes 48. The primary buffer in the human body is bicarbonate (HCO3-), and it works so well to maintain our pH's at 7.4 because of its unique relationship to respiration.uffers are chemicals that reduce major pH changes in your body fluids (blood, intracellular fluid, interstitial â¦ fluid). An example of pH change is during strenuous exercise when your skeletal cells produce lots of carbon dioxide which enters the blood and forms carbonic acid.
Other organs help enhance the homeostatic function of the buffers. The kidneys help remove excess chemicals from the blood, as discussed in the Kidney Dialysis tutorial. It is the kidneys that ultimately remove (from the body) H + ions and other components of the pH buffers that build up in excess.he pK for the phosphate buffer is 6.8, which allows this buffer to function within its optimal buffering range at physiological pH. The phosphate buffer only plays a minor role in the blood, however, because H 3 PO 4 and H 2 PO 4 - are found in very low concentration in the blood.
