Take a look at this college-level biology question

The creeping horizontal and subterranean stems of ferns are referred to as

Now examine this college-level biology question

1. An increase in 02 concentration in the plasma will lead to a decrease in H+ concentration

2. An increase in CO2 concentration in the plasma will lead to an increase in H+ concentration

3. A decrease in sweating will lead to an increase in HCO3 concentration

4. A decrease in respiration will lead to an increase in plasma O2 concentration

The equation above shows a reversible reaction that occurs in blood. An Olympic marathoner training at high altitude in Colorado feels dizzy and begins hyperventilating while taking a run. Her blood pH is elevated, resulting in alkalosis. How will normal blood pH be restored?

H+ + HCO3 H20 + C02
