Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The nonbicarbonate buffer system consists mainly of phosphates and proteins, including hemo-globin.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
If hydrogen chloride, a strong acid, is added to the H2CO3/NaHCO3 buffer solution, HCO3 ions react with the added H+ ions to form weaker carbonic acid molecules and a neutral salt:
HCl + H2CO3/Na+HCO3 2H2CO3 + NaCl
The strong acidity of HCl is converted to the relatively weak acidity of H2CO3, preventing a large decrease in pH.
