The bicarbonate buffer system (shown below)helps to maintain a relatively constant blood pH and participates in transporting carbon dioxide to the lungs. The kidneys can remove HCO₃^-(aq)from the blood if needed to maintain homeostasis (a relatively constant internal environment). Based on Le Châtelier's Principle, what would increase in response to this increased excretion of HCO₃^-(aq)by the kidneys?CO₂(g)+ H₂O(l) H₂CO₃(aq) HCO₃^-(aq)+ H⁺(aq)
