One of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that, w

hen placed in an aqueous solution, dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+).
Thus, H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+
If the pH of the blood increases, one would expect:

(A) a decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of H+

(B) an increase in the concentration of H2CO3 and a decrease in the concentration of HCO3-

(C) a decrease in the concentration of H2CO3 and an increase in the concentration of HCO3-

(D) an increase in the concentration of HCO3- and a decrease in the concentration of OH-

(E) a decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of both H2CO3 and H+.

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

In the given question, the pH scale is used to evaluate acid or basic (alkalinity) formulas. It is nearly positive throughout the blood. Human blood has to maintain its pH at about 7.4, to prevent dramatically increased or lower changes, even though the bloodstream enters or exits acidic or essential substances.  

  • The buffers are essential for stabilization management. Calcium carbonate produced as carbon dioxide joins the blood system and combines with the liquid is a buffer which adds to the pH level in the human blood.
  • It is returned to the water and distributed as a waste product until it enters the lungs, that's why choice C is correct.

Herbivores get energy by eating plants. Plants get energy from sunlight. Why does most of the energy captured by plants never be
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Because they lose most of the energy as heat when they perform metabolic activities

Explanation:

Cells of all living organisms require energy in form of ATP to perform their cellular functions. In an ecosystem, organisms obtain this energy by feeding on one another. However, these energy transfer starts from organisms capable of using sunlight called PRODUCERS e.g plants.

Herbivores, which are PRIMARY CONSUMERS get their energy by feeding on these plants. However, according to the PYRAMID OF ENERGY, which represents the flow of energy in an ecosystem, only a few portion of the energy (about 10%) derived by plants from the sun gets transferred to herbivores. This is because most of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat when the plants undergo metabolic activities.
