Which of the following statements about blood is false?
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

B) The normal pH of blood is 6.8 to 7.0.

Explanation:

The blood pH under normal health conditions is between 7.35 and 7.45. Below this range, blood pH is considered more acidic than normal, and it may indicate that the body is eliminating a lower amount of CO{2} than normal, or that there is a decrease in the concentration of HCO{3-} or accumulation of acid in the blood due to poisoning or disease.

Explain how the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.

This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
