Creatinine is a by-product of muscular metabolism. In the natural and normal scheme of things, this substance or waste product can be eliminated from the body. A high-serum creatinine level may cause kidney damage. In relation to the above question as to how high can creatinine levels go before death, it must be noted that kidneys have strong compensatory ability and by that as long as its still 50 percent functional, creatinine level won't be that high. Which leads us to a conclusion that, the lesser the kidney function level is, the higher the creatinine level.
On the other hand for the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is the most stable blood constituent following death as it reaches antemortem (before death) levels and even after moderate decomposition.
Therefore, as long as the kidneys are functional, regardless of other factors such as the patient's condition/ diagnosis, these blood constituents are nearly normal.
I think the largest amount of total body water is found in the:
D. Intracellular Fluid
According to the Wikipedia, it is stated that 70% of body water is intracellular.
The person will likely go into ketosis after long enough. Their body will burn fat and protein. It will cause bad breath due to the ketones being released via saliva as a result of ketosis.
Answer:
Explanation:
The aim of the Hershey and Chase experiment was to show that DNA and not proteins are the genetic material.
Proteins are made up of amino acids which also has a nitrogenous base. Since the whole point of the experiment was to differentiate between the two i.e. show which one is the genetic material, it would be impossible to differentiate between DNA and proteins if the nitrogenous base was labelled.
