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+.

I'm not sure if it is C or D ​

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 density of protists living in the hay infusion is ______________ than the regular pond water.
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

a. significantly lesser

Explanation:

The density of protists living in the hay infusion is significantly lesser than the regular pond water because protists likes to live in aquatic or any water bodies. Some protists float on the surface of the water making their own food like plants by using the process of photosynthesis. Aquatic environments are ideal environment for protists, which have cilia and flagella that allows them to move in the water in search of food..
