A buffer is a mixture of molecules that acts to keep the pH of a solution close to neutral. Check your answer. Buffers are extremely important to living organisms because all biochemical processes proceed normally only when the pH remains close to 7. Check your answer. When studying biomolecules in a test tube, the biomolecules may behave in ways that are uncharacteristic of their natural behavior if they are in a solution with a pH that is significantly different from the pH of their natural environment.
Heinrich Himmler (1900-1945) was the Reich Leader (ReichsfÃ¼hrer) of the dreaded SS of the Nazi party from 1929 until 1945. Himmler presided over a vast ideological and bureaucratic empire that defined him for manyâboth inside and outside the Third Reichâas the second most powerful man in Germany during World War II.
Himmler was born in Munich, the son of a Roman Catholic teacher. He was old enough to serve in the German Army in 1918 and saw out the last days of World War One. After the war, he became a salesman for a fertiliser company.
