a. True
b. False

Answer 1

The answer would be: as the bicarbonate ion in the plasma after first entering the red blood cells

Carbon dioxide will be changed into bicarbonate ion that released into the plasma. That is why the level of carbon dioxide will influence the pH of the blood. The process will produce hydrogen ion so higher carbon dioxide will result in acidosis. It is important to keep the carbon dioxide level at a certain point to prevent blood pH stable
