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.

The pictures show close-up views of a fir tree and a cactus.
Akimi4 [234]

The fir tree can be found in the coniferous forest biome, and the cactus can be found in the desert biome.

Option C.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Both the cactus and fir trees are having modified tree leaves due to the same purpose - saving water.

The fir trees are found in the coniferous forests which are mainly seen in mountains or in the temperate region. Both the regions face very cold climates and frequent snowfalls in every years. This is why there's a lack of water in the surroundings. This is why they need to save water and minimize transpiration.

Whereas the cacti are found in desert or semi arid regions where water is itself very scarce and temperature is either very high or very low. So they have their leaves converted into spines which help to reduce transpiration.
