Answer:

c. increase blood pH.

d. interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin.

Explanation:

A inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase increases the pH of the blood due to prevent the production of carbonic acid from the carbon dioxide formed during cellular respiration. This carbonic acid decreases the pH of the blood so inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase is responsible for the increase in the pH. It also interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin because oxygen bind with hemoglobin in low pH but the pH is higher due to inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase.

Answer:

d. interfere with oxygen binding to hemoglobin

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors are commonly used as diuretic drugs (usually for treatment against high blood pressure), acting in the carbonic anhydrase enzime, in the proximal tubes of the kidneys.

To achieve this effect, these diuretics inhibit the reabsorption of sodium bicarbonate, and consequently, reducing its concentration in the blood due to the high excretion of this compound.

Thus, by eliminating more bicarbonate, an increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood plasma can occur, which makes it difficult to fix oxygen in the red blood cells, in addition to causing metabolic acidosis, by decreasing blood pH.

So the correct alternative is "D", while the others are false.

Attached is the image respective of the question.

First, both the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm are hydrophilic. The phosphate head of the phospholipid is hydrophilic hence it either faces the extracellular fluid and the cytoplasm. The lipid tail of the phospholipid is hydrophobic hence it is confined in the middle of the plasma membrane. Both cytoplasmic and the extracellular fluid ends of the transmembrane protein are hydrophilic and the middle part of the transmembrane protein is hydrophobic.
