Anon25 [30]

The mangroves trees help in holding the soil in place, they help in absorbing the energy of waves, and they help in filtering water and better the quality of it.  

Mangroves are a kind of estuarine or coastal wetland, featured by the existence of salt amended shrubs and trees, which develops beside the coast in subtropical or tropical latitudes all around the world. Several of the mangroves forests can be determined by their dense tangle of prop roots, which make the trees seem to be standing on stilts above the water.  

The mangroves safeguard the shorelines from destructing hurricane, storms, winds, and floods. They help in inhibiting erosion by stabilizing the sediments with their tangled root infrastructure. They sustain the clarity and quality of water, trapping the sediments and filtering pollutants arising from land.

Radda [10]

Answer:

Considering that homeostasis is restored in the patient, his blood pH range would return to normal levels (7.35-7.45), and his hydrogen ion concentration in the blood would normalize. The effect of normalizing the body by getting rid of excess hydrogen ions is achieved by concentrating these ions into the urine for expulsion, therefore increasing the pH levels of urine.

Explanation:

Acidosis is the condition wherein excessive acid build-up within the body causes the blood pH to become lower than normal (normal pH range 7.35-7.45). This may be due to an excessive loss of bicarbonate in the blood, also known as metabolic acidosis, or due to an impairment in the elimination of carbon dioxide in the blood from poor lung function, also known as respiratory acidosis. The body's natural response to acidosis is to increase the breathing rate to eliminate carbon dioxide in the blood, restoring the natural pH of the body.

In people with diabetes mellitus type I, the lack of insulin causes cells to breakdown fat aside from glucose as an energy source. This process produces ketones as a metabolic by-product for energy but also causes the body to be acidic. This is known as diabetic ketoacidosis.
