Q
Protein buffer
A
Amino acid…chemical buffer
Carboxylic acts as an acid
Amino group acts as a base and binds H+
1
Q
Phosphate buffer reaction
A
Chemical buffer
Dihydrogen phosphatehydrogenphosphate + H+
H2PO4HPO4 + H+
Hydrogen phosphate is the buffer
2
Q
Bicarbonate buffer
A
Chemical
H20 + CO2 ( you breathe them out to remember)—–> carbonic acid ( H2CO3)—–>H+ hco3 (bicarbonate)
3
Q
Bicarbonate normal levels
Potassium normal levels
A
HCO3 = 22-28 mEq/L K+= 3.5-5.0 mEq/L
