pH and respiratory control a&P2

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Respiratory control does not occur as rapidly as   chemical buffering  
🗑
Cell metabolism generates ____ which is eliminated from the body by the lungs   CO2  
🗑
CO2 and water are constantly combining to form   carbonic acid  
🗑
Inside RBC's the enzyme ________combines co2 with h2O to form ____________   Carbonic anhydrase; H2Co3 (carbonic acid)  
🗑
carbonic anhydrase   An enzyme that converts carbondioxide and water into carbonic acid in a reversible reaction  
🗑
H+ and HCO-3 (bicarbonite) are also constantly combining to form   carbonic acid  
🗑
This reaction can occur out of cells without the enzyme, but the   reaction time is much slower  
🗑
The enzyme also catalyzes the reaction in the   reverse direction  
🗑
If the rate of respiration decreases or if the exchange of gases in the lungs is impaired, what happens to the co2 in the plasma?   CO2 increases; can't leave the plasma, and it builds up  
🗑
If the rate of resp decreases, what will happen to the equilibrium of this reaction? CO2+H2O ->/<- H2CO3 <-/-> HCO-3 + H(+)   Equilibrium shifts to the right and H+ increases: A co2 build-up in the plasma causes the reaction to proceed to the right and H+ concentration increases  
🗑
If the rate of resp decreases, what will happen to the pH of the plasma   pH decreases; because H+ is being generated the plasma become more acidic and the pH decreases.  
🗑
If the resp rate increases to above normal what happens to the co2 in the plasma   CO2 decreases; exhaled  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
