A friend tells you that he recently read an article claiming that you need to work to restore the alkalinity of your blood to re

main healthy. Why is this impossible and impractical (and unhealthy even if you could make it happen)?
a) The normal pH of human blood is in the acidic range, so making it alkaline would kill you.
b) Blood is usually around the neutral (pH 7) range, not the alkaline range, in healthy human beings.
c) Blood contains buffers that prevent the pH from changing too drastically, so trying to forcibly alter blood pH wouldn't work effectively.
d) The normal pH of human blood is already in the alkaline range, so it isn't necessary to "restore" it to that point.
e) Blood is usually around the neutral (pH 7) range, not the alkaline range, in healthy human beings AND blood contains buffers that prevent the pH from changing too drastically, so trying to forcibly alter blood pH wouldn't work effectively.

Answer:

d. The normal pH of human blood is already in the alkaline range.

Explanation:

The blood has an average pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Also, in blood there are some natural buffers that allows to maintain this pH does not matter the kind of food or substances that enter to our body.

If for any process the pH decreases a little bit, the body starts a process to recover the natural pH of the blood.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When the resting potential of the membrane is changed, the membrane becomes either more negative inside or less negative. This small deviation from the resting potential is called graded potential. A graded potential occurs when a stimulus triggers opening or closing of the mechanically gated  or ligand-gated channels present in the plasma membrane.

For example, the presynaptic neuron releases neurotransmitters in response to a nerve impulse. The neurotransmitter binds to receptors present in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic neuron and triggers the opening of the ion channels to allow the inflow of particular ions to flow. The flow of ions changes the voltage across the membrane. This change in membrane voltage is a postsynaptic potential and is a type of graded potential.

What can you infer about a species that has a random pattern of distribution over space? A uniform pattern?
Leona [35]

The individual organisms that frame a population are additional or less equally spaced, spread every which way with no predictable pattern, or clustered in teams. These are called the uniform, random, and clumped dispersion patterns.   Uniform refers to the evenly distributed population, random means random spacing and clumped shows the distribution in clusters.

Food supply and resources are directly proportional to a particular distribution pattern. Random distribution occurs when several pollen grains of some flowers were carried by wind or bees. These flowers will then bloom where they were scattered.
