(choose all that apply)

Expels more H+ in the urine.
Reabsorbs more H+ from the filtrate.
Expels more HCO3- in the urine.
Reclaims HCO3- from the filtrate.
Generate new HCO3- that enter the blood.

Generally, it will retain HCO3- and retain H+.

So, it would reabsorb more H+ from the filtrate and Reclaims HCO3- from the filtrate?

Remember, metabolic acidosis is a condition that occurs when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body. High levels of H+ lead to acidic conditions, so you'd have to expel the H+ (get it from the blood and expel it in urine). That's how I see it, I may be wrong.

Ahhhh, I gotcha, I originally was thinking the answer might be Expels more H+ in the urine.  So, you thinking that might be the right train of thought?

Metabolic alkalosis is caused by a relative deficit of any acid in the body, except carbonic acid.
Metabolic alkalosis can occur from an excess of base in the body.  Metabolic alkalosis can also
occur as a result of too little acid in the body.

Because there is less H+ in the body, the reaction will shift to the right and more H+ and
HCO3- will form.
