What is the difference between HCO3- and HCO3plus?
HCO3- is a anion (bicarbonate); HCO3+ don't exist.
What is The most important buffer in our plasma is?
The most important buffer in our plasma is bicarbonate (HCO3-). It plays a crucial role in maintaining the acid-base balance in the body by neutralizing excess acids or bases. When carbon dioxide (CO2) is produced in the body, it reacts with water to form carbonic acid, which can dissociate into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions, helping to regulate pH levels effectively. This buffering system is vital for proper physiological function and homeostasis.
What form of CO2 transport accounts for the least amount of CO2 transported in the blood?
Dissolved in plasma
What the valency of bicarbonate is?
The Valency of Bicarbonate is - 1. Therefore: Calcium + Bicarbonate = Ca(HCO3)2 as Calcium is 2 and Bicarbonate is -1 Similarly Zn + HCO3 = Zn(HCO3)2 Na + HCO3 = NaHCO3
What is the function of glycolipid in the plasma membrane?
They act as receptors.They are important in identifications.
Is blood plasma a good buffer?
Yes. Main buffer is HCO3-. The pH of arterial blood plasma is 7.40.
Is saliva hypotonic to blood plasma?
Blood or Blood Plasma would be Isotonic to cell plasma.
What is plasma and its function?
Tanga kba :D
Is blood clotting a blood function?
we can say that blood clotting is a function of blood because plasma is involved in blood cloting and plasma is a consituent of blood.
What is the difference between HCO3- and HCO3plus?
HCO3- is a anion (bicarbonate); HCO3+ don't exist.
What Molecules in the plasma membrane function as transporters?
Proteins
What is the primary form in which carbon dioxide is carried in blood?
The primary form in which carbon dioxide is carried in the blood is bicarbonate (HCO3-) ions. Carbon dioxide combines with water in the blood to form carbonic acid (H2CO3), which then dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
What function does the plasma do?
enables the blood to flow blood to flow well because plasma is a liguid component of blood.
Why is saliva always hypotonic to plasma?
Acinar cells secrete a isotonic mixture of saliva which then gets modified through the ductal cells to produce a hypotonic saliva compared to plasma with a high K+ and HCO3- concentration. HOWEVER, at high flow rates the saliva actually resembles plasma (isotonic) because there wasn't enough to modify the saliva.
