Biology

Answer:

H+

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is the major protein of red blood cells. It has many exposed amino groups and carboxylic groups at its surface. These NH3 and COOH groups serve as weak acids and bases respectively and allow hemoglobin to serve as a buffer to maintain the pH of the RBC cytoplasm.

As the exposed amino groups of hemoglobin protein bind to the H+ ions, the free H+ concentration of the cytoplasm of RBC is reduced leading to a buffer action to maintain the pH.

Answer:

When I first read this question, all I could think about was the capsized fishing charter called, “the Erik”. The inept captain and crew of this boat caused the death of four passengers while three others remain missing. This disaster occurred back in 2011. I knew two of the passengers. One was recovered in 2013. The other is still listed as missing. However, this question concerns the “best story”. So, I’ll give you the accounts of my own experience. Back in 2013, my group of long-range fishing friends had chartered our annual 8-day trip out of Point Loma, San Diego. We had always chartered the same boat; the Shogun. At our traditional dinner the night before boarding, I remember the most notable topic being discussed was the remnants of Hurricane Ingrid. Ingrid had caused high winds and seas in the area where we wanted to fish.
