When cellular respiration occurs within a cell, carbon dioxide is formed as a waste product. The carbon dioxide is transported out of the cell and absorbed by the blood stream. There, the carbon dioxide undergoes a chemical reaction and forms carbonic acid within the blood. When the carbonic acid reaches the capillaries in the lungs, the enzyme carbonic anhydrase helps reverse the reaction, and the carbonic acid is converted back to carbon dioxide and water. Which of the following would most likely happen if a person's body stopped producing carbonic anhydrase?

Answer:

Even we don`t have options to choose, the correc answer would be: The blood`s acidity would increase and become toxic.

Explanation:

Carbonic anhydrase plays a key role in the regulation of PH and fluid balance in different parts of our body.

In the stomach lining, it plays a role in secreting acid; and also helps to make pancreatic juices alkaline and our saliva neutral.

These are some functions that wouldn`t be developed in our body with the absence of carbonic anhydrase.

I hope it helps!
