The affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen changes with pH. What is affecting the pH of the blood?

Biology
1 answer:
ratelena [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a. The blood changes its pH based on the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved  

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide in the blood combines with water to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid then freely dissociates into hydrogen carbonate and hydrogen ions.

CO₂(aq) + H₂O(ℓ) ⇌ H₂CO₃(aq) ⇌ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃⁻(aq)

The added hydrogen ions affect the pH of the blood.

b. is wrong. The amount of dissolved oxygen does not affect the pH of the blood.

c. is wrong. One of the functions of the hypothalamus is to control blood volume, not pH.

d. is wrong. The "normal" pH of arterial blood is 7.4, but it can range from 7.35 to 7.45.

You have a cup of beans in front of you with 20 white beans and 20 red beans. (You can also use candy, buttons, or coins). These
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Number 3

Explanation:

Dominant: 20, Recessive: 20

An allele is the alternative of a gene. On his case, these beans represent the alleles for a simple Mendelian trait, where red is dominant (R) and white is recessive (r).

As states earlier there are 20 red beans (20 dominant alleles) and 20 white beans (20 recessive beans) and each beach represent an allele.

You add the following components (in the correct volumes and concentrations) to a tube to perform a PCR reaction Buffer Magnesiu
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

These components are not sufficient to successfully perform a PCR reaction. Deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP) are missing so that the PCR reaction can occur perfectly.

The PCR technique allows a specific fragment of the DNA molecule to be amplified thousands of times in just a few hours. This technique revolutionized research in molecular biology because it had taken a long time for DNA amplification. From PCR it is possible to obtain enough copies of a part of DNA to detect and analyze the sequence that is the target of the study.

For a PCR reaction to be performed a solution with some components must be prepared. These components are:

  • Magnesium chloride buffer (to optimize reaction and act as a cofactor for polymerase)
  • Forward and reverse primers (to customize the start of the enzyme reaction)
  • DNA polymerase (Enzyme required for replication of desired DNA region.)
  • DNA Template (the DNA to be copied)
  • PCR-grade water
  • Deoxynucleoside triphosphates: dATP, dGTP, dCTP, dTTP (act as bricks in the construction of DNA molecules).
