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:
If they are different, the organism is heterozygous at that locus. If one allele is missing, it is hemizygous, and, if both alleles are missing, it is nullizygous. The DNA sequence of a gene often varies from one individual to another. Those variations are called alleles.
Answer:
Explanation:In eukaryotic cells, or cells with a nucleus, the stages of the cell cycle are divided into two major phases: interphase and the mitotic (M) phase.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Starch, an example of a class of carbohydrates known as polysaccharide is produced in the leaves by photosynthesis and transported to the roots of the plant for storage. Micro-organisms in the surrounding soil feed on starch released into the soil from the root
