Correct Answer: HCO 3 - and H 2 CO 3


Solution : The correct option is HCO 3 - and H 2 CO 3 .

The carbonic acid (H 2 CO 3 ), and bicarbonate anion (HCO 3 - ) buffer system in the blood that maintains a stable pH is crucial for physiological processes. Deviations beyond pH 7.8, or below 6.8 can be life-threatening, highlighting the vital role of this buffer in preventing extreme acidity, or alkalinity that could lead to death.
