Test Your Knowledge of Human Physiology

• Buffers maintain proper pH in the body for biochemical processes.
• Respiration breaks down glucose to release energy in the form of ATP.
• Hemoglobin, amino acids, and proteins are involved in energy production and other bodily functions.
• Water and carbon dioxide are produced during respiration.
• The chemical equation for respiration is glucose + oxygen -> water + carbon dioxide (+ energy).
• The bicarbonate buffer system helps regulate pH levels in the blood.
• The lungs regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood.
• The kidneys help maintain acid-base balance in the body.
• The kidneys can absorb more acids or bases as needed to keep the body at homeostasis.
• The kidneys work to rid the body of excess base when the lungs cannot.

Test your knowledge on the basics of human physiology with this quiz on buffers, respiration, and bodily functions. From the chemical equation for respiration to the role of hemoglobin and the bicarbonate buffer system, this quiz covers key concepts. Explore how the lungs and kidneys help regulate pH levels and balance acids and bases within the body. Put your knowledge to the test and see how much you know about the fundamental processes that keep our bodies functioning.
