Question
Chapter 25.6, Problem 39LO
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why infants are more susceptible to respiratory acidosis.
Concept introduction: Acid-base balance is the homeostatic maintenance of the extracellular fluid’s pH. The maintenance of optimum pH is essential for normal physiological functioning of the body. If there is any disturbance in the acid-base balance, it leads to acidosis and alkalosis. Acidosis occurs when the concentration of hydrogen ions increases or serum pH decreases.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
