The normal blood pH for adult humans is 7.40, and this pH value is vigorously defended at normal body temperature
Acid base Homeostasis is the method by which body keeps a constant ph
pH is kept under check via different systems
1. Chemical system :bicarbonate buffer system(explained below )
Respiratory component :
2. Respiratory Component: The second line of dense is rapid consisting of the control the carbonic acid concentration in the ECF by changing the rate and depth of breathing by hyperventilation or hypoventilation. This blows off or retains carbon dioxide (and thus carbonic acid) in the blood plasma as required
3.Metabolic component : third line of defense is slow, best measured by the base excess,eand mostly depends on the renal system which can add or remove bicarbonate ions to or from the ECF.Bicarbonate ions are derived from metabolic carbon dioxide which is enzymatically converted to carbonic acid in the renal tubular cells.There, carbonic acid spontaneously dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.When the pH in the ECF falls, hydrogen ions are excreted into urine, while bicarbonate ions are secreted into blood plasma, causing the plasma pH to rise.The converse happens if the pH in the ECF tends to rise: bicarbonate ions are then excreted into the urine and hydrogen ions into the blood plasma.
Buffers usually consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base; this enables them to readily absorb excess H+ or OH–, keeping the system’s pH within a narrow range.
Maintaining a constant blood pH is critical to a person’s well-being. The buffer that maintains the pH of human blood involves carbonic acid (H2CO3), bicarbonate ion (HCO3–), and carbon dioxide (CO2). When bicarbonate ions combine with free hydrogen ions and become carbonic acid, hydrogen ions are removed, moderating pH changes. Similarly, excess carbonic acid can be converted into carbon dioxide gas and exhaled through the lungs; this prevents too many free hydrogen ions from building up in the blood and dangerously reducing its pH; likewise, if too much OH– is introduced into the system, carbonic acid will combine with it to create bicarbonate, lowering the pH.
Example: Antacids, which combat excess stomach acid, are another example of buffers.
ECF =Extra cellular fluid
Honestly, dog-walking and dog-sitting is a really great job and <span>it is also really fun and rewarding</span>. The average wage for a Dog Walker is $13.27 per hour. Therefore, being a freelancer, I would love to spend my spare time on the dog walk.
Usually, I spend an hour, every morning, jogging. This suits me and I can earn some extra cash too, besides my fitness.
Since the male and the female have recessive alleles of this gene, all of their offspring will be like that too.
rr x rr cross will result in 100% of the offspring with the genotype: rr
R- dominant (but none of the parents has this allele)
r- recessive
Answer:
The correct option is lamprey.
Explanation:
Lamprey is a kind of fish which lack jaws. They lack a true skeleton, but the cartilage is present in them. Due to lack of proper backbone, they look similar to snails. The lamprey reproduces by laying eggs in the water. Larvae tend to develop from these eggs. The lamprey releases its eggs only in freshwater. Only the mature lamprey live in the sea to act as a parasite and take food. For laying eggs, it travels to freshwater.
