The carbon dioxide carried in the blood is actually combined with water and carried in the red blood cells in the form of carbonic acid, which has a dissociation constant:

H₂CO₃ ↔ H⁺ + CO₃⁻

When the pH of the blood decereases, the concentration of H⁺ ions in the blood becomes high. This causes the equilibrium to shift backwards, as per Le Chatelier's principle. The H⁺ ions are converted back to carbonic acid and the pH is increased. The opposite occurs when the pH is too high.

Answer:

I can’t answer all of them, but I’ll answer the oxygen ones.

The mitochondria uses oxygen. In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen as a waste product. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.

I hope this helps, even though I only answered 3 of your questions!!
