stira [4]
A decreased pH coupled with a decreased plasma concentration of bicarbonate ion indicates that acidosis is occurring and the respiratory system will compensate for this change.  
<span>Acidosis (metabolic) is a state when increased acidity in the blood occurs and it usually refers when arterial pH falls below 7.35. Metabolic acidosis may result from increased production of metabolic acids (lactic, for example) and is characterized by low pH, low blood HCO3, and normal or low PaCO2. Metabolic acidosis is compensated with an increased exhalation of CO2 to reduce metabolic acid.</span>

The number of bacteria in an experiment can be represented by f(x) = 4*,
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

The number of bacteria in an experiment can be represented by an exponential function

f(x)=4^x

where, x represents the number of hours.

We need to find the value of x when f(x)=64.

Substitute f(x)=64 in the given function.

64=4^x

It can be rewritten as

4^3=4^x

On comparing both sides by get

3=x

The value of x is 3.

Since f(3)=64 it means the population of bacteria is 64 in 3rd hour.

Therefore the correct option is A.

How does food resource availability influence parental care in the clown anemonefish
