Unlike oxygen, which binds to iron, this compound binds to a nitrogen on the alpha chain of hemoglobin.
Low-birth-weight babies at risk of SIDS may be put in "sleep sacks" to avoid a buildup of elevated amounts of this compound in the body, which is called hyper•capnia. High readings for this compound on an ABG exam indicate a risk of respiratory acidosis. One of the fastest known enzymes maintains the body's acid-base balance using an input of water and this compound to produce an anion found in (*) baking soda. Unlike oxygen, which binds to iron, this compound binds to a nitrogen on the alpha chain of hemoglobin. Christian Bohr discovered that an increase in the concentration of this compound in the blood, which lowers blood pH levels, decreases hemoglobin's ability to bind to oxygen. Carbonic an•hydrase produces bi•carbonate from water and, for 10 points, what gas that, along with water, is a product of aerobic respiration?
