Blood must be maintained at a fairly constant pH between 7.35 - 7.45. One of the principal buffers responsible for doing this co

nsists of carbonic acid in equilibrium with bicarbonate ions. If you breathe too deeply or rapidly, a condition known as hyperventilation may occur in which some muscles are temporarily paralyzed because the pH of the blood becomes too high.
Explain why the pH changes in this way and why the condition can be corrected by breathing in a paper bag.

Answer:

The most important way that the pH of the blood is kept relatively constant is by buffers dissolved in the blood. Other organs help enhance the homeostatic function of the buffers. The kidneys help remove excess chemicals from the blood, as discussed in the Kidney Dialysis tutorial.

Which of the following would be considered a quantitative observation
Eduardwww [97]

A descriptive observation may very well be a mixture of both quantitative and qualitative as it can utilize elements of both types. Qualitative deals with the kinds of observations that cannot be measured in numerical form. Quantitative data is just that.

How did fossil<br> fuels form, and how<br> are they obtained<br> and used?
Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are important energy sources for our every day activities.

  Formation of fossil fuels

Fossil fuels forms from the accumulation and burial of organisms in a basin of deposition. Instead of the organisms decaying, they preserve their carbon content. To be worthy of becoming fossil fuels, organisms must be buried in an environment where there is little to no oxygen to fast-track decomposition of the buried organic matter. Increase in temperature and pressure causes the organic matter to transform into fossil fuels.

How are they obtained

First, different fossil fuels have their extraction techniques because they occur in different physical state of matter.

For the solids e.g coal: exploration is carried out first and if a prospect is delineated, mining engineers design the best way to extract the coal from nature. Coal is usually found laid in sedimentary beds in nature. Top layers of sediments can be removed to extract the coal.

For fluids such as crude oil and natural gas, after a prospect is identified, a rig is usually constructed to extract the fluid and gas. The natural pressure allows for the fluids the rise within the drill used in extraction.

How are they used

Coal and gas are used to power electrical generating plants. They are used to heat steams which drives turbines and produce electricity.

Natural gas is used as a domestic fuel for cooking and so also coal.

When crude is processed a lot of product is obtained. Gasoline is used to power most internal combustion engines. Some chemicals useful for manufacturing plastics, drugs e.t.c are also derived from the processed crude.

BRAINLIESTTTT ASAP!!!
Irina-Kira [14]
Cellular respiration in algae, as in all organisms, is the process by which food molecules are metabolized to obtain chemical energy for the cell. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.<span>
