Answer:

Electrolytes are nothing but minerals that have electric charge when it is mixed in liquid like blood. thus the sodium and potassium electrolytes will help regulate the nerve and muscle function. They also maintain the acid-base balance by regulating the electric charge on the cells and water flow across the membrane.

Answer:

Electrolytes like sodium and potassium control the blood pH by helping to maintain acid-base balance

Explanation:

Electrolytes are minerals responsible for transporting water into our cells and also for the electrical impulses in our body, which in turn are important for muscle movements, for the functioning of vital organs and also for efficient hydration, for example.

Thus, it is possible to achieve dehydration even by drinking water. This is due to a combination of factors: low sodium concentration (eliminated by sweat and urine) and high water intake. This combination dilutes the sodium concentration. The body's automatic reaction is to eliminate water through urine and sweat, to return to balance in sodium concentration.

In addition to sodium and potassium, electrolytes such as magnesium, phosphorus, calcium and chloride are of great importance. They work in managing blood pressure and blood pH (controlling the acid-base balance), rebuilding damaged tissues, contracting muscles, hydrating, preventing cramps and producing energy. Thus, the harmonic presence of these six minerals is fundamental for the proper functioning of the body.

Natasha2012 [34]

The complete options to the question includes:

A.You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body.

B.You exhibit mild symptoms of disease and the levels of the pathogen in your body are quickly reduced and eliminated.

C.You succumb to the worst effects of the disease but survive due to administration of antimicrobial agents.

D.You never show any symptoms of disease, but the pathogen persists in your body.

E.There are no exceptions, A-D are all plausible outcomes.

Answer: The correct option is A (You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body).

Explanation:

Infectious diseases occurs when an individuals system is invaded by pathogenic microorganisms (virus,bacteria,fungi and parasite). These microorganisms may or may not cause disease but this depends on the healthy state of the host. They can also be transmitted from one person to another.

To explain the options why all are plausible outcomes when X has successfully been transmitted into the body except A includes:

B) option B can occur when the immune system of the host is able to combat X.

C.) Option C can occur when antimicrobial is given to suppress the activities of X

D) option D can occur when the individual may become an asymptomatic carrier of X. ( Individual shows no symptoms and signs of disease caused by X but the pathogen is still present in the body).

But option A is not possible as X must be present to show there was a transmission.
