Which three statements accurately describe the blood buffering system in humans?
The blood buffering system depends on the ionization of
H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)
.
The blood buffering system maintains the pH of blood near 7.4.
The blood buffering system utilizes the
H_(2)C(O_(3))/(H)CO_(3)^(-)
conjugate acid/base pair.
The blood buffering system utilizes the acetic acid/acetate conjugate acid/base pair.
The blood buffering system is facilitated by the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, which interconverts carbon dioxide and water to carbonic acid, ionizing into bicarbonate and
H^(+)
.
