If removal of carbon dioxide from the blood is disturbed, what may happen to the body?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The body’s internal balance may be disturbed
The governing concept is the removal of respiratory waste and homeostasis. Cellular respiration continuously produces carbon dioxide. Blood transports this gas to the lungs, where it is exhaled. If removal is impaired, carbon dioxide can accumulate, affecting blood chemistry and shifting the acid–base balance; serious disturbance can impair normal enzyme and cell activity. Hence option A is correct. The other options concern plants or impossible changes unrelated to carbon dioxide removal.
