Chapter 3, Problem 40FB

Summary Introduction

To review:

The given blank in the statement is: when blood pH rises above 7.45______results.

Introduction:

The regulation is an important activity of living organisms. pH can be determined by the concentration of hydrogen ions $\left({\text{H}}^{\text{+}}\right)$ in living cells. The intracellular pH in most of living cells is alkaline. The protons generated in the cell are transported passively via the plasma membrane. There are several buffer systems present in the body to maintain thepH. Such as the bicarbonate-carbonate system and protein-proton binding.
