A decreased pH coupled with a decreased plasma concentration of bicarbonate ion indicates that acidosis is occurring and the respiratory system will compensate for this change.
<span>Acidosis (metabolic) is a state when increased acidity in the blood occurs and it usually refers when arterial pH falls below 7.35. Metabolic acidosis may result from increased production of metabolic acids (lactic, for example) and is characterized by low pH, low blood HCO3, and normal or low PaCO2. Metabolic acidosis is compensated with an increased exhalation of CO2 to reduce metabolic acid.</span>
Answer:
Each ATP molecule contains one ribose molecule, one adenine molecule and three phosphate groups.
Explanation:
Each molecule of Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is composed of one ribose molecule (sugar), one adenine molecule (nitrogenous base), and a chain of three phosphate groups bound to ribose. It is the energy-carrying molecule present in the cells of all organisms. Cells in the body of the organisms produce the energy for their functioning, by converting the energy stored in the food nutrients into a more usable form called adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which will release energy when the need arise. This process is known as cellular respiration.
