Question

10.) CO2 + H2O <-> H2CO3 <-> H+ + HCO3- If a person has respiratory acidosis, the kidney compensates by reabsorbing more bicarbonate ions from the renal filtrate back to the blood, and excreting less in the urine. How would H+, H2CO3 and CO2 levels change in the blood if HCO3- increases? A.) All three will increase compared to acidosis with no compensation B.) All three will decrease compared to acidosis with no compensation C.) hydrogen ion will increase, carbonic acid and carbon dioxide will decrease D.) hydrogen ion will decrease, carbonic acid and carbon dioxide will increase E.) no change

Explanation / Answer

H+, H2CO3 and CO2 levels will decrease compared to acidosis with no compensation.decrease HCO3 (bicarbonate) reabsorption and decreased H+ excretion which makes alkaline urine ,Decreased respiration rate and depth to conserve pCO2
