Which buffer system is found in the human body?

Chemistry
1 answer:
aivan3 [116]3 years ago
8 0

The correct answer is the bicarbonate buffer system.  

The bicarbonate buffer system refers to an acid-base homeostatic mechanism taking part in the balance of bicarbonate ion, carbonic acid, and carbon dioxide in order to sustain the pH in the duodenum and blood, among other tissues, to support the entire metabolic activities.  

The bicarbonate buffer system plays a vital role in the human body systems. In the duodenum and the stomach, the bicarbonate buffer system functions to both neutralize gastric acid and steady the intracellular pH of epithelial cells through the secretion of bicarbonate ion into the gastric mucosa.

Do plants have to do cellular respiration?<br> Why or why not?
kozerog [31]

Answer:

<h3>Plants need oxygen because plants are made living cells which need to perform cellular respiration to get the energy they need to function. Admittedly, needing to perform cellular respiration alone does not mean that consuming oxygen is required - many (micro)organisms use fermentation or anaerobic respiration.</h3>

During photosynthesis, photocenters in chlorophyll capture energy from photons to excite electrons. The energized electrons are
marissa [1.9K]

One claim that supports one law of thermodynamics in photosynthesis is that energy is conserved, but the form of energy changes (Law 1).

<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Photosynthesis is a process done by plants and other organisms to obtain energy. This process implies a set of reactions that aim at converting light energy into chemical energy the organisms can use.

<h3>How is photosynthesis related to thermodynamics?</h3>

One way photosynthesis supports the laws of thermodynamics is through the first law that establishes energy is conserved, but the form of the energy can change.

This is because, in photosynthesis, the initial solar energy is transformed into chemical energy by storing the energy in carbon-hydrogen chemical bonds. This means the form of energy has changed but the energy is preserved.

Note: This question is incomplete because the graph is not given; due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
