Explain why the underproduction of albumin by a cirrhotic liver contributes to excessive filtration, which leads to ascites. Ref

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.

How much dna is in each nucleus of each cell
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: Look below =3

Explanation: That makes a total of 6 billion base pairs of DNA per cell. Because each base pair is around 0.34 nanometers long (a nanometer is one-billionth of a meter), each diploid cell therefore contains about 2 meters of DNA [(0.34 × 10-9) × (6 × 109)].

Ocean currents are caused by all of the following except:
NikAS [45]
The answer is A: '<span>underwater landslides </span>'. Underwater landslides would cause a wave, rather than a current. Ocean waves are caused by energy passing through water. An ocean current on the other hand is a mass of water moving in a definite direction through another mass of water. This movement is driven by forces that could be derived from surface winds, tidal fluctuations and seawater density contrasts.

There are so many microbes in a single mL of culture, it is very difficult to perform one dilution to produce countable cells. M
Feliz [49]

Answer:

cumulative dilution = 0.000001

Explanation:

A serial dilution is a stepwise kind of dilution repeated a certain number of times, in which the concentration reduces exponentially each time.

The cumulative dilution is the final dilution gotten depending on the number of times dilution has been done and the dilution factor. The formula is given as:

Cumulative dilution = (F)ⁿ

where:

F = dilution factor = 0.1

n = number of serial dilutions = 6

∴ cumulative dilution = (0.1)⁶ = 0.000001
