acid correct answers substance containing a hydrogen ion that can be liberated or released
Acidosis correct answers condition characterized by a proportionate excess of hydrogen ions in
the extracellular fluid, in which the pH falls below 7.35
active transport correct answers movement of ions or molecules across cell membranes, usually
against a pressure gradient and with the expenditure of metabolic energy
