Question 55

Multiple Choice

Which of the following reactions occurs when someone is hyperventilating?


A) The additional oxygen entering the system will bind with deoxyhemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin.This will place an excess of hydrogen ions into the bloodstream.These will combine with bicarbonate ion forming carbonic acid.The carbonic acid will breakdown into carbon dioxide and water.The resulting decrease in hydrogen ion concentration in the blood can lead to alkalosis.
B) The additional oxygen entering the system will bind with deoxyhemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin.This will place an excess of hydrogen ions into the bloodstream.These will combine with bicarbonate ion forming carbonic acid.The carbonic acid will breakdown into carbon dioxide and water.The resulting decrease in hydrogen ion concentration in the blood can lead to acidosis.
C) The additional oxygen entering the system will bind with the hydrogen ions forming water.An excess of water will begin to accumulate in the cells causing them to swell and potentially rupture.
D) The additional oxygen entering the system will bind with deoxyhemoglobin to form carbonic aciD.The carbonic acid will breakdown into carbon dioxide and water.the resulting decrease in hydrogen ion concentration in the blood can decrease the blood pH.
E) The additional oxygen entering the system will bind with deoxyhemoglobin to form carbonic acid.The carbonic acid will breakdown into carbon dioxide and water.the resulting decrease in hydrogen ion concentration in the blood can increase the blood pH.
