Answer;

-Blood because a lower H+ concentration means a higher pH.

Step-by-step explanation;

-pH is a measure of the hydorgen ion concentration of a solution. Solutions with a high concentration of hydrogen ions have a low pH and solutions with a low concentrations of H+ ions have a high pH.

-Most organism’s need to keep their pH within a very small range (around 7). pH can be regulated by buffers, compounds that can bind to an H+ ion when the H+ concentration increases and can release H+ ions when the H+ concentration decreases.

The hydrogen ion (
H^(+)) is responsible for the acidity of the substances. The hydrogen ions if present in more number, the solution would be more acidic. The acidic solutions have a low pH and the basic substances have a higher pH.

According to the given information, the cells have more hydrogen ion concentration, which means, they are more acidic. Hence, the blood would have a higher pH as compared to the cells.
