Compare Figures 22.25a and 22.25b.
1. Why do bicarbonates leave red blood cells as blood passes through the tissues and enter RBCs when blood passes through the lungs?
2. In which figure does the concentration of HHb increase, and why does it increase there?
3. In which figure is more carbonic acid made by combining bicarbonates and protons than by combining water and carbon dioxide? Provide your reasoning.
4. name the law associated with the fact that much more carbon dioxide than oxygen travels in the plasma and
5. indicate which law has to do with the fact that about 20% of the air pressure exerted against our skin comes from collisions of oxygen molecules.
