Answer:
c. Glutamine is metabolized by deamination, oxidation, and acidification.
Explanation:
Bicarbonate ions are an important part of bicarbonate buffer system which helps to maintain the pH of blood. Whenever blood starts to become acidic, bicarbonate ions increase to neutralize its effect. Their concentration can be increased by many mechanisms, for example tubular reabsorption.
However, glutamine catabolism does not replenish bicarbonate ions, in fact it does the exact opposite. Kidney generates ammonium ions by catabolism of glutamine which are excreted in the urine. This process also facilitates the excretion of bicarbonate ions.
Answer:
poaching of elephants for ivory and tigers for their skin and bones.
Explanation:
A good way to know would be by going through each one.
A) This seems the most neutral course of action.
B) There have been many studies proving the negative effects of releasing aquaculture-raised fish back into environments. There are competition issues, overpopulation issues, etc.
C) This would cause the misplacement of potentially HUNDREDS of deep-sea life forms and would only cause more pollution issues in the water to find more non-renewable resources.
D) Natural gas is a convenient and expeditious source of energy. However, it is non-renewable.
I'd say most likely A, as it supports sustainability and not a non-renewable resource or (too severe) habitat destruction
