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.

A person has 5.0 liters of blood which contains 95 mg of glucose per 100 ml. What is the total mass of glucose (in grams) in the
vampirchik [111]
Use conversion factors to calculate this answer. Since there are 1000 ml in a liter, this means that there is 95 mg of glucose in 0.1 liter. To add on, since there is 1000 mg in a gram, this means that there is 0.095 grams in 0.1 liters. 5 liters of blood is 0.1 x 50 = 5.0. Hence, you would need to multiply 0.095 x 50, which is equates to about 4.75 grams of glucose in 5.0 liters of blood.

Don’t forget the significant figures, 4.75 is rounded to 4.7 because the significant figures in this case is 2 sig figs (5.0 liters of blood).
