In an individual with metabolic acidosis, a clue that he respiratory system is compensating is provided by (a) high blood bicarbonate levels, (b) low blood bicarbonate levels, (c) rapid, deep breathing, (d) slow, shallow breathing.

Solution Summary: The author explains that metabolic acidosis occurs when the body starts producing huge quantities of acid and the kidneys are unable to remove the acid. The high and low bicarbonate levels do not affect the breathing.
