Answer:by decreasing bicarbonate excretion and increasing acid excretion

Explanation:

The condition in which Carbondioxide, CO2 levels are high in the blood, the phenomenon is known as acidosis which is the opposite of alkalosis which is the decrease in Carbondioxide,CO2 level in the blood. In human blood, there is acid and there is base as well. Both acid and base present in human beings' blood must be balanced for proper functioning of the body system.

There are ways the organs in our bodies respond to deviations Which is the reason behind the kidney compensate by decreasing bicarbonate excretion and increasing acid excretion.

Elevated carbon dioxide mean too much acid in the blood.  <span>Increase acid excretion (intercalated cells secrete H+ into tubules) and decrease bicarbonate excretion. They also make new bicarbonate to add to the plasma.</span>

What is the electron structure of a sodium atom?
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

Explanation:

All the elements in the periodic table, has an atomic number. This number tell us different things, such as number of protons, position in the periodic table among others.

One of the things that tell us the atomic number is the electron structure.

First, all elements begins always with 1s. This is because the first number indicates number of energy level which is in. This tell us, the period of the periodic table is the element, the s, is the type of orbital which the electrons are located. the s orbytal can only have 2 electrons max, and with the increasement of the atomic number, this electrons also increase.

Therefore for an element like Helium, (atomic number = 2) means that we have to begin with the 1s and put 2 electrons, to complete the atomic number. In this case, it would be 1s2.

When we surpass this number, we use another energy level, in this case, 2, and begin again with orbytal s. Then, when we surpass 2s2, we use now another orbytal, which is p. This is because we have more elements in the second period of the table, so we need another kind of energy levels to carry all the electrons. orbytal p can carry up to 6 electrons max, so for an element like Florine (Atomic number = 9), it's structure would be 1s2 2s2 2p5. As you can count the electrons, we have 2 + 2 + 5 = 9, we complete the atomic numbers and the electrons would be, the numbers of electrons located in the last energy level, in this case, the 2s and 2p, and it would be 7 electrons.

Now after this explanation, in the case of sodium (Na), the atomic number of sodium is 11, therefore, we need to count til 11 so:

[Na] = 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

As you can see, sodium is the first element of period 3 of the table, and we begin with the energy level 3. In your case it would be the last option you put.

Elza [17]

Answer:

Single-celled organisms use cell division as their method of reproduction. Cell Division and Growth: A sea urchin begins life as a single cell that (a) divides to form two cells, visible by scanning electron microscopy.

Explanation:

Los organismos unicelulares utilizan la división celular como método de reproducción. División y crecimiento celular: un erizo de mar comienza su vida como una sola célula que (a) se divide para formar dos células, visibles mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido.

Acetylcholine is broken down to acetate and choline by an enzyme calledacetylcholinesterase. Low levels of acetylcholine in the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

a. A non-competitive inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase.

Explanation:

The enzyme acetylcholinesterase breaks the molecule of acetylcholine, so to maintain the levels of this substance higher in the brain, the medication must act directly in the enzyme.

An enzyme can be inactivated by higher temperatures, changes in pH and changes in the osmotic pressure, but these things would probably damage other enzymes in the brain. So, the medication must be an inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase. It would be selective and would stop the actions of the enzyme.

But, this inhibitor can't be competitive because if this happens, it would break the acetylcholine, and wouldn't solve the problem.
