Answer:
d. Hemoglobin helps maintain a constant pH in the blood by binding with H⁺ions released from bicarbonate ions.
Explanation:
The presence (CO₂) in in the erythrocytes lowers its pH as a result the affinity of hemoglobin decreases for oxygen. The carbon dioxide (CO₂) reacts with water to form carbonic acid in the presence of the enzyme carbonic anhydrase which is present in the erythrocytes or red blood cells. The carbonic acid then changes into two ions hydrogen ion (H⁺) and bicarbonate ion (HCO₃⁻). As a result of H⁺ ions, the pH of blood drops. Haemoglobin pick up hydrogen ions to balance the decrease in pH. Thus, haemoglobin helps in maintaining constant pH or keep pH of blood in buffer.
Answer:
This process of making sugar and oxygen is called photosynthesis. Pond weed uses the carbon dioxide which is dissolved in the water it is in. The amount of dissolved carbon dioxide can be varied by adding sodium hydrogen carbonate (carbon dioxide solution) to the water.

Answer:
The most important reason for learning about environmental systems is due to the fact that we should know what's going on in the world around us. If we were to travel to Asia, we should know the forests that lie there to pack appropriately. It's also important to just be aware of how the world works. It's also good to know what rock type you'll be walking on, so you can pack shoes accordingly. Overall, it's better to know the world around you than to live in ignorance.

Explanation:
Electroplating involves the coating of one metal on another metal. It is an electrochemical process. The positive electrode is the coating metal while the negative electrode is the metal on which the coating is to be performed.
Since copper is to be coated on an iron nail. A copper plate is made the positive electrode while the iron nail should be the negative electrode.
The electrolyte used in the process should be a copper salt e.g CuSO4 solution.
As electrolysis progresses, the copper electrode(positive electrode or anode) gradually wears away due to the fact that the copper ions are going into the solution and are being deposited on the iron nail.
Answer:
NADPH is formed on the stromal side of the thylakoid membrane, so it is released into the stroma. In a process called non-cyclic photophosphorylation (the "standard" form of the light-dependent reactions), electrons are removed from the water and passed through PSII and PSI before ending up in NADPH.
