Question

Which of the following metabolic processes releases hydrogen ions into body fluids?

a. Anaerobic respiration of glucose
b. Incomplete oxidation of fatty acids
c. Oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids
d. Aerobic respiration of glucose
e. All of the above

Answer 1

E. All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Sources of Hydrogen ions are the acids produced by different metabolic processes, below are some acids produced by all the processes given in the question :

1. Anaerobic respiration of glucose produces Lactic acid
2. Incomplete oxidation of fatty acids produces acidic ketone bodies
3. Oxidation of sulfur-containing amino acids produces sulfuric acid
4. Aerobic respiration of glucose produces carbonic acid
