What change in renal regulation of h+ would help compensate for a metabolic acidosis?

1 answer:

3 0

The answer would be: an increase in the production of new plasma HCO3-

In metabolic acidosis, the pH of the blood is too acid which means there is too much H+ ion in the blood. The kidney can compensate it by making more OH- and dump more H+ to the urine.
The H+ is not filtered, it was secreted by the cells. More H+ will decrease the pH of the urine, makes it more acid. Acid secretion allows more HCO3- production.
Bicarbonate or HCO3- is base ion and increasing its production will lower the blood pH.

A lake is not a biome. A lake can be found in a biome, but a lake is not itself a biome. A biome is a community of plants and animals that have common characteristics for the environment they exist in. Yes, similar species can be found living in a lake, but a lake can be found in a particular biome where there are lots more of the same species.

What is the job of the protons (H+) in the ETC?

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP. Hope this helps!
