Would glycine be a better buffer in a higher animal circulatory system than phosphates or bicarbonate/carbonate?

Biology

Answer:

The correct answer is - No, glycine would not be better buffer.

Explanation:

Human blood is slightly basic or alkaline in nature and to maintain this the blood needs a buffer of bicarbonate ion and carbonic acid as the change in the blood pH fluctuation (lower to 6.8 and or higher to 7.8) can lead to the death.

Glycine has lower PKA value but it has pH of the 7.6 that means it is more alkaline than the blood and has higher second pKa that is 9.58 which is high for the body fluids.

Thus, the correct answer is - No, glycine would not be better buffer.

Answer:

Glycine will be better

Explanation:

Some of the characteristics of good buffer solution are-  

a) Must be highly soluble

b) Non toxis

c) Must have pka values ranging between 6.0 to 8.0

d) Low absorbance rate, permeability and reactivity

Based on the above description, we know that the first pka value of glycines is 2.34 and second pk value of 9.60 while the same for phosphate is 2.16 and 7.21 and bicarbonates is 6.4.  

Also, glycine is less permeable as compared to carbonates and bi carbonates.

How does one species become two different species? 3 sentences.
8090 [49]

Answer:

in explanation

Explanation:

I'd say one species can become two different species by mating. If one species mates with a different species than they carry their genes over to the baby. This would become a repeating cycle making another species.

I don't know if this was the answer you were looking for, but this how animal breeders get a certain type of animal.

kolezko [41]
It depends on the individual reaction to lactose. first, some individuals are considered lactose intolerant meaning they lack enzymes that break down lactose into glucose and galactose. hence, if they digest dairy products they can have severe symptoms that will affect their health. however individual who aren’t lactose intolerant benefit from digesting lactose containing products because it improves the individuals health by providing the body with sufficient amount of energy when lactose is broken down to glucose and galactose. Also, consuming Foods in the Dairy Group provide nutrients that are vital for health and maintenance of the body. over all, it all comes down to how an individual will react to such decisions when eliminating lactose. If this decision outweighs the disadvantages then I agree with it however if it doesn’t I completely disagree
