1. Was the pH value for the urine and the saliva the same or different? Why do you think this was the case? 2. Were the bodily fluids you tested acidic, alkaline, or neutral? Why do you think this is the case? 3. Are there any bodily fluids that have a drastically different pH from the ones you measured in this exercise? What is the purpose of this fluid's pH?
