Rat 2 has normally functioning kidneys and poorly functioning lungs.

Rat 3 has poorly functioning kidneys and normally functioning lungs.

you measure the pH of the blood 6 days after injection.

Rank the rats according to the change in pH from baseline pH in each individual rat:

Rat 1 ? pH = Rat 2 ? pH = Rat 3 ? pH

Rat 1 ? pH < Rat 2 ? pH < Rat 3 ? pH

Rat 1 ? pH < Rat 2 ? pH = Rat 3 ? pH

Rat 1 ? pH = Rat 2 ? pH < Rat 3 ? pH

Rat 1pH<Rat2pH<Rat3pH

Is the correct answer.
