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.
