Answer: Between 15% and 25% of the body weight.

A 3% to 4% decrease in total body water, is mostly tolerated and doesn't cause adverse health effects.
A 5% five to 8% decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness.
Over 10%, can cause severe thirst, physical and mental deterioration.
Death or coma can occur when it's lost about 15 and 25 percent of the body water.

The DNA in a cell's nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well
spayn [35]

Answer:

PFK (protein): cytoplasm only (targeting pathway)

Insulin (protein): ER->Golgi->outside cell

Explanation:

Translation can be described as the mechanism by which a protein is produced through a mRNA.

If a particular protein is to function inside the same cell, then it doesn't need to get any modification so that it can travel outside the cell. Such type of proteins are translated on free cytoplasmic ribosomes and are released directly into the cytoplasm to perform their function. For example, PFK protein.

If a protein has to function outside the cell where it is produced, then it has to be modified. Such type or proteins are translated on the rough ER.  They are then modified in the Golgi complex and then transported outside the cell to the area where they have to function. For example, insulin.
