bonded to hemoglobin

c)

as an ion in blood plasma

8.

a)

blood pressure

b)

osmotic pressure

c)

diffusion

11.

H+ is created in the tissue capillaries because of the reaction that converts CO2 to HCO3-.

a)

true

b)

false

a)

true

b)

false

13.

What happens to the excess H+ created with HCO3-?

in all organs of the respiratory system
