<u>ANSWER:</u>

Hemopure is a blood substitute that has been approved by the FDA. The blood substitute has been developed by Biopure Corporation.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • The main function of the blood substitute is to recreate the functions of blood in the body namely blood clotting and transporting oxygen.
  • Hemopure comes in bags and does not need to be refrigerated like donated blood. This blood can be transfused using needles and tubes. Hemopure contains bovine haemoglobin and can be used for patients who need blood.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Yes, carbonic acid is the part of blood buffer system.

Explanation:

Carbonic acid is a part of blood buffer system which helps in regulating of pH of the blood. Hydronium ion is responsible for the increase in acidity of the blood. The carbonic acid dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ion, this bicarbonate ions react with the hydronium ion and prevent the pH of the blood from decreasing so we can say that carbonic acid is an essential part of blood buffer system.

Answer: Light Refraction

Explanation:

Light rays travel in straight lines. When they strike an opaque surface, the rays bounce, and light is reflected back to your eye so that you see an image. When light strikes a transparent object, some of the light passes through. If that light strikes the object straight on, it continues to travel in a straight line. If the light enters the transparent object at an angle, though, it changes direction, bending.This bending of light is called refraction. Refraction occurs because light entering an object slows down. When it enters at an angle, one side of the light ray enters before the other, slowing down first.Looking from above, an object under water appears larger than it does in air. It's not that the image the light gave our eyes is bigger. It's that the image is actually closer to our eyes, since the light is not passing straight down, but is instead bending relative to the water's surface. Light passing straight down would be perpendicular to the water's surface, like the vertical line on the letter T.
