A. Alkalosis can be caused by a decrease in bicarbonate
(HCO3).
B. Acidosis can be caused by an increase in carbonic acid.
C. Metabolic acid-base imbalances affect the
concentration of bicarbonate (HCO3).
D. Mixed acid-base imbalances are reflective of a
simultaneous combination of disorders.
E. Respiratory acid-base imbalances affect the
concentration of carbonic acid (H2CO3). - ANSWER-B, C,
D, and E
Increased Hydrogen ions - ANSWER-more acidic
