Wrong? I fucking hate multiple choice [spoiler]I got an email typed out, but my head is cooling, I don't think I'll bother. It was all I got wrong. Do professors get salty about why is it wrong emails?[/spoiler]
>may or may not
RÅ•rrrrrreeeeee
Literally just "may" or "may not". Never both you insufferable diletant.

while you are cooling off, post the whole question here

>Question makes no sense
they arent looking for you to write "x is the answer", but to demonstrate your understanding of the subject
even brainlets can understand this

It was a two part question. Given a readout of slight acidosis, low PaCO2, low PaHCO3, and high PaO2. We were told it was from inhibited carbonic anhydrase. First part of question stated this would cause equilibrium to shift toward (increased [which was correct]) CO2. Second part of the question asked does this explain the readings, (yes [because of respiratory compensation of pH, CO2 would be hyperventilated]) Wrong? I still don't really see why, other than it didn't literally spell out every factor involved. Can't you even calculate ECF ph with only a CO2 to HCO3 ratio? I don't see how you could separate this equilibrium from what's going on
