Question

Which three of the following statements accurately describe the blood buffering system in humans? the blood buffering system . . .

Answer 1

The truth about blood buffering is that 1). mantains the ph of blood near to 7.4. 2) utilizes the H2CO3/HCO3– conjugate acid/base pair and 3) is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid. Have in mind that the buffer is written as the following: CO2(aq) + H2O(l) <==> H+(aq) + HCO3^-(aq)
