when there is to much carbonic acid the body increases rate and depth of respiration to reduce the co2, which reduces the carbonic acid,(water in the plasma + co2 = h2co3 . when the co2 level goes down below normal levels, respirations slow and become more shallow to retain co2 which increases the carbonic acid, and adjusts the blood ph.

What factors control breathing rate?

Breathing rate increases when: -The respiratory center senses high CO2 levels and high H+ (hydrogen ion) concentration (controls pH). -Carbonic Acid/Bicarbonate Buffer System: CO2+H2O<->H2CO3(carbonic acid)<->H(+)+HCO3- -There are low blood O2 levels (sensed by chemo-receptors in certain blood vessels) -Emotions, fear, and pain can also increase breathing rate


What Will Happen To The Equilibrium Concentration Of Carbonic Acid If The Pressure Of Carbon Dioxide Is Increased In The Container?

The equilibrium concentration of carbonic acid will increase because the system will shift to the right to relieve the increase in pressure by consuming more of the carbon dioxide to produce more carbonic acid. This shift helps maintain the equilibrium constant for the reaction.

Which buffer pairs is considered the major plasma buffering system?

The major plasma buffering system in the body consists of bicarbonate (HCO3-) and carbonic acid (H2CO3). This system helps maintain the pH balance in the blood by shifting between bicarbonate and carbonic acid in response to changes in hydrogen ion concentration.

2 systems control pH in the body. What are they?

The two systems that control pH in the body are the respiratory system and the renal system. The respiratory system helps regulate pH by controlling the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood through breathing. The renal system, or kidneys, regulate pH by excreting or reabsorbing hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate ions (HCO3-) in the urine.
