A contact lens is a lens placed on the cornea of the eye.
Importance of buffers in contact lens products:
Buffers: They aim to keep the pH of the solutions at values between 6.6 and 7.8 in order to maintain the lens parameters and the effectiveness of the solutions. They are made by the combination of an acid and its sodium salt (phosphate and acetate for example). Borate and citrate buffers are used.
Importance of isotonicity in contact lens products:
The solution composed by isotonic saline solution.
Isotonia is expressed by osmolarity or cryoscopic lowering
- 0.236 to 0.446 mOsmoles / l (increases during the day)
- If the osmolarity of the mixture is different from that of the tears, it causes discomfort and irritation
• Increased tear secretion
• Increase the blink frequency
- If hypotonia, entry of water to the epithelial cells, if hypertonia: inverse
- Osmolarity restored 1 or 2 minutes after instillation
Answer:
In medicine, genetic engineering has been used to mass-produce insulin, human growth hormones, follistim (for treating infertility), human albumin, monoclonal antibodies, antihemophilic factors, vaccines, and many other drugs. In research, organisms are genetically engineered to discover the functions of certain genes.
Explanation:
I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:
WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?
Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:
1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.
2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.
3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.
