'''The Importance of pH and Temperature''': Biochemistry is extremely sensitive to its environment. Most enzymes in the human body work optimally at 37°C and pH 7.4. If your body temperature rises too high (fever) or your blood becomes too acidic, the delicate shapes of your proteins change, and your metabolism begins to shut down. This is why "homeostasis" (maintaining a stable internal environment) is the primary goal of biological systems.
