Chapter 29, Problem 29.48AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Using a chemical equation it should be explained that how the concentration of $H^{+}$ increases when an actively metabolizing tissue produces $C{O}_2$

Concept introduction:

Concentration of $H^{+}$ can be increased in the body by various factors, some factors are mentioning here,

Aerobic respiration of glucose production of $C{O}_2$

Anaerobic respiration of glucose: production of lactate

Production of ketone bodies: sulfur containing amino acid.

Production of $H_{2}S{O}_4$: Hydrolysis of phosphoproteins production of $H_{3}P{O}_4$
