Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
When filtrate pH falls to 4.5, H+ secretion stops. Buffers in the tubular fluid are essential for the secretion and elimination of excess H+ ions in acidotic states.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Because the kidneys control blood HCO3 and the lungs control blood CO2 levels, the H-H equation can be conceptually rewritten as follows:
PH  kidneys/lungs.
