KCET · BIOLOGY · STD 11 - 14. Breathing and Exchange of Gases
During the transpiration of gases, to maintain the ionic balance, chloride ions shift from
- A RBCs to plasma
- B plasma to RBCs
- C lungs to blood
- D blood to lungs
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) plasma to RBCs
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) plasma to RBCs,
During the transportation of gases, to maintain the ionic balance, chloride ions shift from plasma to RBCs. This process is known as the chloride shift or Hamburger phenomenon, where chloride ions move into red blood cells as bicarbonate ions move out, maintaining ionic balance during carbon dioxide transport.
