Review Sheet Results 1. Describe what happened to the pH and the carbon dioxide levels during rebreathing. How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: During rebreathing, pH levels decreased below 7.35 and carbon dioxide levels increased above 45 mm Hg. The above-stated results matched my prediction, which stated that the pH would decrease and
