Adequate intake of  Potassium is vital for individuals with hypertension due to its relationship with sodium.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common condition in which the long-term force of the blood against your artery walls is high enough that it may eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.

Blood pressure is determined both by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure. A blood pressure reading is given in millimetres of mercury (mm Hg). It has two numbers :

  • Top number (systolic pressure). The first, or upper, number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
  • Bottom number (diastolic pressure). The second, or lower, number measures the pressure in your arteries between beats.

You can have high blood pressure for years without any symptoms.

Uncontrolled high blood pressure increases your risk of serious health problems, including heart attack and stroke. Fortunately, high blood pressure can be easily detected. And once you know you have high blood pressure, you can work with your doctor to control it.

what is the maximum number of amino acids that can be specified by a codon consisting of a sequence of four bases
vichka [17]

Answer:

64.

Explanation:

It is 64 because there are 20 amino acids with four bases ( A,T,C and G).

and genetic code can be read in triplets and also the four bases can occupy the positions. Eachh amino acid can be coded by the triplet codons. A triplet codon shows three nucleotides of the mRNA template that can code for amino acid

Therefore the number of codons is 4×4×4= 64.

Which is a requirement for natural selection to occur?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Fewer Offspring than the environment can support

Explanation:

It takes time for  a creature to adapt to its  Environment. So that puts off 2.

Your guaranteed to get traits from your parents so that rules out #1

There isn't really an equal probability of survival for an offspring, ruling out #3.

So that leaves us with 4. I'm not biology expert, I'm just letting you know how I did this problem.  Just in case i'm wrong, I would double check with other answers :)

How do the diffuse modulatory and point-to-point synaptic communication systems in the brain differ? list four ways?
Vesna [10]

Diffuse modulatory synapses or neuromodulation function different than simple point-to point synapses.

1. Number of postsynaptic neurons

In neuromodulation neuron uses one or more neurotransmitter to regulate several neurons. In Synaptic point-to-point transmission only one particular neuron receives signal from the presynaptic neuron.

2. Neurotransmitter sin neuromodulation (neuromodulators) are not reabsorbed broken down by the pre-synaptic neuron like those in classic synapse. Neuromodulators stay in cerebrospinal fluid.

3. Receptors are also different: the receptors for the neuromodulators are typically G-protein coupled receptors while in classical chemical neurotransmission, they are ligand-gated ion channels.

4. Neuromodulation is a slow process, while classic synaptic transmission occurs fast.

Once glucose enters the body's cells, it is used to provide energy. What are the two main life processes for which that energy i
disa [49]

Answer:ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use. It is the molecule that provides energy for your cells to perform work, such as moving your muscles as you walk down the street. But cellular respiration is slightly more complicated than just converting the energy from glucose into ATP.
