A. Your blood and body fluids will likely become more basic, with a higher pH than the normal range.
B. The cola, tomato, and citrus fruits will add hydrogen (H+) to your blood and body fluids.
C. All of the answer choices are correct.
D. Your body will produce buffer molecules to help neutralize acids you ate, so your blood pH doesn't change much.
E. Your blood and body fluids will likely become more acidic, with a lower pH than the normal range.
