Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Increased ventilation increases the CO2 removal rate, causing nonbicarbonate buffers to release H+ ions. Decreased ventilation ultimately causes nonbicarbonate buffers to accept more H+ ions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
For example, volatile acid (H2CO3) accumulates only if ventilation cannot eliminate CO2 fast enough to keep up with the body's CO2 production.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
