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.
One of the major ways in which large changes in H+ concentration are prevented is by buffering. The body buffers which are primarily weak acids, are able to take up or release H+ so that changes in the free H+ concentration are minimized. Buffers are located in the extracellular fluid (ECF), intracellular fluid and bone. The most important buffer in the ECF and the body is HCO3- (bicarbonate) which combines with excess H+ ions to form carbonic acid. Take for instance an acid load of H2SO4 produced via metabolism of methionine: H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 â NA2SO4 + 2H2CO3 â2CO2 + 2H2O + NA2SO4.
