Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme, speeds the process of carbon dioxide and water combining to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid immediately dissociates to form sodium bicarbonate, using a sodium ion from the renal tubule and a free hydrogen ion (an acid). The other options are not correct.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
As sodium is actively moved out of the filtrate, it takes chloride ions and water with it. Sodium does not take calcium, magnesium, or potassium ions with it.
