Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
In respiratory acidosis, the kidneys retain or produce HCO3 to buffer the additional acid caused by CO2 retention. In respiratory alkalosis, the opposite occurs. A reciprocal relationship exists between Cl and HCO3 concentrations. Bicarbonate retention is associated with chloride excre-tion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Potassium is the main cation of the intracellular compartment.
