Question about blood pH.?

Question

Normal pH range for blood is 7.35 to 7.45. If blood pH falls below 7.35
a) the number of red blood cells decreases.
b) an imbalance called acidosis results
c)the blood becomes saltier.
d) an imbalance called alkalosis results
e) nothing happens as this is an acceptable deviation

Answer 1

answer b ) as the pH lowers under the mean value, you have an acidosis

Answer 2

Your body will keep the blood pH at an optimum level no mater what. Only if you have a serious condition those levels will change because your body won't be able to work right due to the illness. So even if someone is on a strict diet the pH of your blood will be maintained at the best value. "If the pH of the body gets too low (below 7.4), a condition known as acidosis results. This can be very serious, because many of the chemical reactions that occur in the body, especially those involving proteins, are pH-dependent. Ideally, the pH of the blood should be maintained at 7.4. If the pH drops below 6.8 or rises above 7.8, death may occur. Fortunately, we have buffers in the blood to protect against large changes in pH."

Answer 3

The normal Ph of the intersticial fluid of the tissues in vertebrated animals (man included) is 7.32 to 7.39....in this range of Ph, most of the reactions of protein syntesis, and respiratory chain reactions are produced.....
If Ph falls below the minimum range acceptable, we have an excess of H+, that is, free protons (acids), and thus, we are talking about acidosis here...(there are two types according to the cause....retention of CO2 or respiratory acidosis, or retention of other acids, mainly lactic and proponic and other acids by the kidney....the first one is called RESPIRATORY acidosis, and the second one, METABOLIC acidosis...)
I hope I did not confuse you even more....

Answer 4

100% B acidosis

Answer 5

acidosis
