Question
Chapter 16, Problem 15aCP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The following:
1. The terms acidosis and alkalosis.
2. The two components of blood acid-base balance.
Introduction:
Carbon dioxide has a tendency to bind with water in order to form carbonic acid. Carbonic acid is an unstable compound that instantly breaks down into hydrogen ion (H+) and bicarbonate ion (HCO-3). Formation and transportation of these ions in the blood may alter the pH (potential of hydrogen) of the blood. Maintaining the pH of the blood is an important task.

Using information from the primary literature (several references have been provided as a starting point below) please answer the following question: Based on your review of the literature on rewilding, what are the major scientific pros and cons for rewilding?
Please note that the focus of this assignment are the (biological) scientific issues associated with rewilding. As will be discussed in class, there are a number of non-scientific issues involved or implicated in rewilding, all ultimately affecting the public acceptability of rewilding. Although these issues are important – indeed, critical – in this assignment you should focus on the biological science issues and questions.
Details:
You must enumerate at least two pros and at least two cons.
Your answer should be no more than 500 well-chosen words, excluding references. Think carefully about how best to organize and structure your answer. Aim for high information density: say a lot, but say it succinctly. Recall Nietzche’s…
