Answer:

Albumin is produced mainly by the liver. Albumin is the major protein that is acts as the carrier protein for steroids, thyroid hormones and fatty acids in the blood.

Albumin stays in blood vessels as they are too large to move across the capillary walls, in blood vessels by contributing to osmotic pressure or colloid osmotic pressure that maintain water volume. So, the albumin is the protein that is involve primarily on the water reabsorption.

Answer:

B. The foam has tiny air pockets that slow the transfer of thermal

energy away from the water in the pipe

Explanation:

Air is a poor conductor thermal energy and can be used as good insulator. Insulators are poor conductors of heat.

When it is freezing outside, the temperature gradient will tend to adjust to the ambient one. The water in the pipe being at a higher temperature will tend to lose heat energy to the surrounding.

The layer of foam will prevent this form of heat exchange from happening because of the air pocket that is present around.

Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and creates oxygen as a byproduct. The plant uses the energy from the sun in order to create energy for itself while at the same time taking up carbon dioxide and water to grow.

Which is the most efficient way to avoid DNA mutations from UV radiation?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The most effective way to prevent DNA mutation from UV radiation is: (C.) Avoid UV radiation by wearing sunscreen.

Mutation is the change in the normal sequence of DNA. The agents that induce these mutations are called mutagens. The mutations can be harmful as they can hamper the normal functioning of the living body. Some mutations however do not cause any significant changes and they are therefore called silent mutations.

Sunscreen is a a cream or liquid applied to the skin that prevents the harmful radiations of the sun to enter the body. They protect from the sun's UV-A and UV-B radiations.
