A buffer solution is one which resists changes in pH when small quantities of an acid or an alkali are added to it. Acidic buffer solutions. An acidic buffer solution is simply one which has a pH less than 7. Acidic buffer solutions are commonly made from a weak acid and one of its salts-often a sodium salt. A common example would be a mixture of ethanoic acid and sodium ethanoate in solution. In this case, if the solution contained equal molar concentrations of both the acid and the salt, it would have a pH of 4.76.
They are haploid cells, because  they have half the number of chromosomes as an organism. During  fertilization the diploid number is restored. Sperm are single  cells. 3 people found this useful.
Human diploid cells contain two sets of 23 chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes. When sex cells unite during fertilization, the haploid cells become a diploid cell. The production of sperm cells is known as spermatogenesis. This process occurs continuously and takes place within the male testes. Hundreds of millions of sperm must be released in order for fertilization to take place. The vast majority of sperm released never reach the ovum.
