B

pCO2 is the partial pressure and is a measure of the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood.

Explanation:

The amount of CO2 in the blood is dependent on the rate of cellular respiration of tissues and the rate of expelling of CO2 in the lungs. Carbon anhydrase is an enzyme in the blood that helps dissolved CO2 which is important in the transport of the respiratory gas.

CO2 dissolved in blood plasma to form carbonic acid. The higher the CO2 in the blood, therefore,the lower the pH. The normal range of pCO2 in the blood is 35–45 mmHg keeping pH at a homoeostatic range of 7.4

nignag [31]

Answer:

The bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals are homologous and the flippers in penguins and seals are analogous.

Explanation:

The flippers of penguins and seals are analagous because they have similar functions but they did not come from the same evolutionary origin. Their separate ancestors evolved them to cope with their respective environments. However, the bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals are homologous because they both inherited their forelimbs from common ancestors with the same bones in their forelimbs.
