Flashcard 9: In _____ cells, CO2 is combined with H2O via the enzyme carbonic anhydrase, forming H2CO3

Answer: red blood

Extra: Carbonic anhydrase is located within red blood cells, making this reaction much faster than in plasma.

Flashcard 10: What acid-base disturbance is associated with hypokalemia? _____

Answer: Alkalosis
