Biology

The kidneys can regulate reabsorption of carbonic acid in the tubule, increasing or reducing acid secretion. So, urine that is more acidic than normal may mean the body is ridding itself of excess dietary acid and thus making blood pH more alkaline. Ammonia is another way the kidney can regulate pH balance.

Hemoglobin buffers the pH of the cytosol of RBC by combining with ______ions.
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

H+

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.

As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.

What mineral is the least resistant to weathering?
34kurt

Quartz

Explanation:

Quartz is a framework silicate made up of interlocking SiO₂. It is the most resistant mineral to weathering.

This is based on the Bowen's reaction series of minerals.

From the series;

  • In a given melt, quartz is the last mineral to crystallize out of solution.
  • Olivine is usually the first
  • Quartz being the last does not readily react with other substances.
  • This makes it resistant to agent of weathering.
