Answer: A low pCO2 indicates respiratory alkalosis which may be primary or secondary to a primary metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonate is calculated from measured [H+] and pCO2 values. A high standard [HCO3- ] indicates either primary metabolic alkalosis or a compensatory response to a primary respiratory acidosis.
Explanation: an increase in PCO2 causes a decrease in pH, which will increase minute ventilation and therefore increase alveolar ventilation to attempt to reach homeostasis. The higher the minute ventilation, the more exchange and loss of PCO2 will occur inversely.
Answer:
<em>experimental group</em>
Explanation:
In scientific experiments, an experimental group can be described as a group which is under study. In this group, an independent and dependent variable is present. An independent variable can be described as the factor which changes either naturally or which is being changed by the researcher. A dependent variable can be described as the variable which is under study and it might be dependent on the independent variable.
