The renal system control [HCO₃⁻] and [H⁺], while the respiratory system controls the CO₂ release.  Option 5. the respiratory system expels CO₂ produced by the buffer system.

<h3>How the bicarbonate buffer system works?</h3>

Bicarbonate buffer is a significant key in regulating the organism's blood pH.

Bicarbonate is the conjugate base of carbonic acid.

H⁺ + HCO₃⁻ ⇒ [H₂CO₃]

The carbonic acid is converted into CO₂ and water by carbonic anhidrase

[H₂CO₃] ⇔ CO₂ + H₂O

The lungs and the kidneys are responsible for the pH control in corporal fluids.

  • Water is absorbed by the system, while the respiratory system releases CO₂, which is neurologically controlled.
  • Physiological mechanisms at a renal level control the concentration of [HCO₃⁻] and [H⁺].

Consequently, the blood  pH control depends on the relative proportion of added HCO₃⁻ by the kidneys and CO₂ eliminated by the lungs.

H₂CO₃ would have a low buffering capacity in the body if it could not dehydrate to CO₂, a gas expelled from the body with expired air.

The correct option is 5. The bicarbonate buffer system would not work very well in the human body if not for the action of the respiratory system, which expels CO₂ produced by the buffer system.

Why are changes in the global carbon cycle important?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:II) Deforestation and suburbanization reduce an area's net primary productivity.

III) Increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide could alter Earth's climate.

IV) By using fossil fuels we are destroying a nonrenewable resource.

Explanation:

The global carbon cycle can be defined as the cycle of carbon in which the carbon is transformed and changed into forms while transferring to atmosphere, land, ocean and in the form of fossil fuels.

The deforestation and suburbanization processes will likely to affect the contribution of the plant in the net primary productivity generate due to photosynthesis process that involves the production of carbon products in the form of glucose by atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The increase in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide through the burning of fossil fuels is likely to warm the earth climate. The burning of fossil fuel is likely to increase the abundance of carbon dioxide in the air.

The fossil fuels are the source of non-renewable resource utilized for the purpose of generation of thermal energy. These resources once consumed will not get replenished thus this will reduce the carbon level produced due to burning of fossil fuels in the future.

How would adding finer particles to the sand affect porosity?
OLEGan [10]

Explanation:

Porosity depends on the size, shape, and mixture of grains and particles that compose soil and rock. For instance, small particles such as clays can compact more closely together, reducing the amount of porosity. However, larger particles such as sand and gravel will have more spaces available between them.
