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.

A high rise condominium is planned for a barrier island that lies off the southwest coast of Florida. Which of these predictions
Sergio [31]

Answer:

The ecosystem will be destabilized as abiotic resources like available space are reduced.

Key species found on the barrier island will move to a new habitat.

Explanation:

Due to living of humans on the barrier Island with adversely affected the organisms present on that Island because the loss of habitat occur due to living of humans and the important species migrated to other habitats where no humans are present. So this action greatly change the environment of barrier Island and the ecosystem will be destabilized.
