One of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid is a weak acid that, when placed in an aqueous solution, dissociates into a bicarbonate ion (HCO3-) and a hydrogen ion (H+). Thus, H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+
If the pH of the blood increases, one would expect:

(A) a decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of H+

(B) an increase in the concentration of H2CO3 and a decrease in the concentration of HCO3-

(C) a decrease in the concentration of H2CO3 and an increase in the concentration of HCO3-

(D) an increase in the concentration of HCO3- and a decrease in the concentration of OH-

(E) a decrease in the concentration of HCO3- and an increase in the concentration of both H2CO3 and H+.

I'm not sure if it is C or D

How is ribosomal rna useful as a molecular clock? a. a large portion of the dna ring is not vital to structure or function, allowing it to accumulate neutral mutations. b. its rate of mutation increases over time as organisms continue to evolve and differentiate from each other. c. a slow mutation rate makes it useful for determining evolutionary relationships between ancient species. d. it is only found in select organisms, making it easier to compare relationships between species that have it.
