Question 2

Imagine that you have two people using breathing gear under water.Diver 1 is using an old style "rebreather" that removes carbon dioxide before the mixture is "rebreathed" and therefore decreases overall carbon dioxide concentrations in the blood.Diver 2 is using regular SCUBA gear and is breathing air with the normal amount of carbon dioxide that does not lower blood levels of carbon dioxide.Which diver would have a higher blood pH and which would feel more an "urge to breathe"?


A) Diver 1 would have higher blood pH and would feel the "urge to breathe" sooner.
B) Diver 2 would have higher blood pH and feel the "urge to breathe" sooner.
