Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A buffer is a substance that prevents a sharp change in the pH of a solution when a strong acid or base is added to it.

Answer: B
 Metabolic acidosis is a condition in which there is too much acid in the body, often caused by a buildup of lactic acid or an increase in ketone levels.

Answer: C
 An acid solution has a pH that is less than 7, indicating a high concentration of hydrogen ions.

Answer: D
 Respiratory alkalosis is a condition in which there is too little carbon dioxide in the body, often caused by hyperventilation.

Answer: E
 The respiratory system is responsible for breathing and exchanging gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the body and the environment.

Answer: F
 Metabolic alkalosis is a condition in which there is too much base (alkaline) in the body, often caused by excessive vomiting or the use of certain medications.

Answer: G
 An alkaline solution has a pH that is greater than 7, indicating a low concentration of hydrogen ions.

Answer: H
 The kidney system is responsible for filtering waste products from the blood and maintaining electrolyte balance in the body.

Answer: I
 Respiratory acidosis is a condition in which there is too much carbon dioxide in the body, often caused by hypoventilation.

Answer: J
 A neutral solution has a pH of 7, indicating a balance of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions.
