Biology

inysia [295]3 years ago

Answer:

The fact that mature red blood cells expel their nuclei, to expand their surface area and transport oxygen, can demonstrate that they cannot live very long.

Explanation:

The absence of a nucleus in mature red blood cells (erythrocytes) means that it has no genetic material and is unable to synthesize proteins to repair itself. This means a relatively short half-life for these cells.

A mature red blood cell circulates in the blood and performs its function for about 90 to 120 days, after which it is eliminated.

Regarding the other options:

<em>     B. Red blood cells can live more than 24 hours.</em>

<em>     C. The absence of a nucleus in erythrocytes does not indicate any relationship with cancer.</em>

<em>    D. Although they do not have mitochondria, erythrocytes can obtain ATP by glucose glycolysis and lactic acid fermentation. Even so, it is not related to the lack of nucleus</em>

Increasing the volume of air that reaches the alveoli and takes part in gas exchange will cause blood pH to:
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Increase

Explanation:

As CO2 enters the blood, most of it is converted to the carbonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions. As the H+ concentration increases, the blood pH decreases. Thus, the increased partial pressure of CO2 produces a more acidic environment. Increasing the volume of air that reaches the alveoli and takes part in gaseous exchange will increase the rate of removal of CO2 from the blood. The reduced CO2 levels in the blood would increase the blood pH.
