Answer 14

pH is Acidic, CO3 is Basic, HCO3 is Acidic

Question 15

Just state whether these values are acidic or basic or neither.
pH: 1 , CO2: 1 , HCO3: 1

Answer 15

pH is Acidic, CO2 is Basic, HCO3 is Acidic

Question 16

What is compensation?

Answer 16

When the lungs work to offset the kidneys, or the kidneys work to offset the lungs

Question 17

What does breathing fast do?

Answer 17

Blows off CO2, so CO2 goes down causing ALKALOSIS

Question 18

What does breathing slow do?

Answer 18

You don’t blow of CO2, so the CO2 stays in the body. You can think of CO2 as acid, more of it in the body means the body acidic, or in ACIDOSIS
