Question

37. As blood pH increases, the respiratory center in the brain stem causes the respiratory rate to decrease and respiration become shallower. In which direction will the following chemical formula move? CO2+ H2O H2CO3 HCO3-+ H+ A. Right B. Left C. No movement 38. Persistent diarrhea will result in metabolic acidosis. (2pts) 1. What is the compensatory mechanism to correct this? tory in which hpervennlornon Occurs to increase tosso Co 2. Write the corresponding formula with arrows pointing in the direction of respiratory compensation

Explanation / Answer

When the CO2 reacts with water to produce carbonic acid, the cargonic acid(H2CO3) then dissociates into H+ ions and HCO3- ions. The H+ ions increase the acidity of the blood.

So, the answer is A.
