Answer to Question 1

Substances that can donate or give up hydrogen ions (H+) are considered to be acids. In human physiology, two groups of acids are important: volatile and nonvolatile. Volatile acids are those that can be converted to a gaseous form and eliminated by the lungs. Nonvolatile acids include those inorganic acids that are formed during metabolism of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid. The lungs cannot eliminate nonvolatile acids. Carbonic acid is the most important volatile acid because it is produced in the largest amount and provides the major source of H+.

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.
