Answer:

The most serious electrolyte imbalance in the use of diuretics is hyponatremia

Explanation:

The adverse effects of diuretic treatment are essentially the hydroelectrolytic imbalance produced by the drugs. Hyponatremia is the adverse effect produced by diuretics. The risk may arise with thiazide and loop diuretics, and is greater with thiazides than with loop. Symptoms are dry mouth, thirst, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, seizures, headache, etc.

What is the most important distinction between the membrane transporters known as channel proteins and those known as carrier pr
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Channel proteins form hydrophilic channels to passively transport substances down the concentration gradient.

Carrier proteins bind to substances to transport them actively against the concentration gradient. They do not form channels.

Explanation:

Channel proteins are the membrane proteins that serve in transport of small polar molecules and/or ions by making a hydrophilic pore across the membrane. These molecules diffusion through the pore and exhibit facilitated diffusion.  

Carrier proteins are the membrane proteins that transport the substances across the membrane by binding to them. They do not form the hydrophilic channels. Carrier proteins serve in the active transport of molecules against the concentration gradient.

jeyben [28]
<span>Everyone has cells because these are the building blocks of life. These tiny particles that clump into groups that form tissues, organs, and organ systems are what makes organisms distinct from non-living things that exist on Earth. Where there are cells, life is present, and in its absence life cannot exist as we know of today. Cells are responsible for bringing different species of organisms that are found in different ecosystems all over Earth. They are tiny but in groups they are responsible for every living organisms that have existed through time.  </span>
