   What is buffering & how does it work?

   • Buffering is the process of preloading data into a reserved area of memory called a buffer. When streaming audio or video, buffering helps the software save a certain amount of data before it starts playing. This technical aspect of buffering ensures that data is readily available when needed, especially by a computer’s processing units.

   What is a buffering system in biology?

   • The most relevant systems for biology are the carbonic acid/carbonate buffering system, which controls blood pH and cells and the phosphate buffering system. Proteins, which have many weak acid and base functional groups, can also act as buffering agents.

   What is a depth buffer?

   • A depth buffer, also known as a z-buffer, is a type of data buffer used in computer graphics to represent depth information of objects in 3D space from a particular perspective. The depth is stored as a height map of the scene, the values representing a distance to camera, with 0 being the closest.

   What is I/O buffering?

   • A buffer is a memory area that stores data being transferred between two devices or between a device and an application. Uses of I/O Buffering : Buffering is done to deal effectively with a speed mismatch between the producer and consumer of the data stream. A buffer is produced in main memory to heap up the bytes received from modem.
