Question

What would happen when blood is acidic?

Answer 1

Blood:

• Blood is a body fluid which is involved in the transportation of essential nutrients, Oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body.
• It consists of Haemoglobin which gives it a red colour.

When blood is acidic:

• The concentration of carbon dioxide increases when blood is acidic.
• This results in decreased $\mathrm{pH}$ of the blood.
• It causes the release of oxygen from the Haemoglobin proteins and thus, the binding of oxygen with Haemoglobin decreases, resulting the body parts get lesser oxygen than required.
