The bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer system

A blood test called an arterial blood gases (ABG) test analyzes the pH, oxygen (O2), and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in an artery. The purpose of the test is to evaluate the patient's lungs' ability to eliminate carbon dioxide from the blood and transport oxygen into it.

The buffer between carbonic acid (H2C03) and bicarbonate (HCO3-) is essential for preserving the acid-base balance in the blood. Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) serves as a weak base and H2CO3 as a weak acid.

Bicarbonate makes weak acids from strong acids, and strong bases from weak acids generate neutral solutions.

By controlling the generation of bicarbonate, the kidneys support the bicarbonate buffer system. The lungs help by controlling the amount of carbonic acid produced.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is A) An interest group is using symbolism to turn people away from a plan that lawmakers are considering.</em>

Explanation:

The example is a typical way for interests groups to promote their agenda and beliefs and rally support for their cause.

This is a realistic example of a campaign you might see, since Nuclear Power is still a very controversial topic. Whenever a nuclear power plant is proposed in a region, law makers try to promote as a way to create more jobs in an area and provide cheaper electricity.

But time and again, across America, we have seen communities and families campaigning against the building of power plants close to their homes. This is mostly due to the danger of a fallout, radiation leaking and a general sense of danger for children.

In this example, the interest group is trying to portray the danger to the environment and the citizens of the United States, because they believe that the energy policy is wrong and depends too much on expanding Nuclear power.
