Which of the following counteracts the movement of bicarbonate ions from the RBC?
A) the Bohr effect
B) the Haldane effect
C) chloride shifting
D) release of hydrogen ion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chloride shifting occurs in which chloride ions move from the plasma into the RBC in exchange for bicarbonate ions, thus counteracting the movement of bicarbonate ions out of the RBC. The Bohr and Haldane effects and release of hydrogen ions actually facilitate the movement of bicarbonate ions out of the RBC.
