Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding water intake and output by the body?
REY [17]

Answer:

The correct option is this: AN INCREASE IN FLUID TAKEN BY MOUTH WOULD REDUCE THE AMOUNT PRODUCED BY METABOLISM.

Explanation:

Generally, the amount of water consumed by a person normally leads to increase in the amount of urine that the person will excrete, that is, the higher the quantity of water consumed, the higher the quantity of the urine that will be excreted under normal circumstances. Thus, the statement given in option B is false. The statements given in Option C and D are right; during exercise the quantity of sweat produce and lost by the body is higher than the one that is produced when one is not exercising. Also, diarrhea usually lead to loss of water from the body.

Explain how this experiment showed that gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance.
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Due to no transfer of resistance allele.

Explanation:

The gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance because the characteristics can't be transferred from one generation to the next generation. The organisms are evolved to become an antibiotic resistance due to their environmental conditions and this resistance quality is only present in the existing population and the alleles that are responsible for this resistance can't be transferred from the bacteria to the next generation so the experiment showed that gene flow was not the cause of antibiotic resistance

Define the 3 signals for activation and the 3 outcomes of the complement system.\
sp2606 [1]
* More than 40 proteins and glycoproteins involved in the complement system are synthesized by the liver, macrophages, epithelial cells, they are present in the blood in plasmatic form, membrane, some have an enzymatic activity, regulator or membrane receptorThese are elements of the humoral innate immune response, they fight infections, purify immune complexes and apoptotic bodies.
<span>There are indeed three ways to activate the complement:</span>
Classical pathway: Activated by Immunoglobulins in immune complexes, aggregated Immunoglobulins, DNA, CRP, apoptotic bodies .......it involves nine fractions, starting with C1, then C4, C2, C3, to form a classical C5 convertase, then, activation of C5, C6, C7, C8, C9.

Alternative pathway: activated by polysaccharides (bacterial endotoxin), vascular wall poor in sialic acid, aggregated IgE ...C3b like is the first component in the alternate channel cascade, it will create an amplification loop, and form an alternative C5 convertase.

Lecithin pathway: Activated by mannose, fucose (carbohydrate of microorganisms)The first component is the complex MBL / MASP1 / MASP2: "mannose-binding protein": works according to the same principle as the complex C1 of the classical way (MASP2 cleaves the C4 and the rest of the cascade is equivalent to that of the classical way).

the three ways have the same outcome: A C5 convertase (formed by one of the pathways) cleaves C5 into C5a and C5b: C5b is deposited far from other fractions on the antigenic surface. The fixation of C5b in the cell is followed by that of C6, C7, C8, and C9 (9 molecules of C9): formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) ==> Death of the cell by osmotic shock

Tear glands have vesicles that release their secretion by exocytosis. These are classified as ___________ glands. However, _____
Vilka [71]

Answer:

1. Merocrine

2. Holocrine

Explanation:

Merocrine glands are the exocrine glands that synthesize their secretions on ribosomes attached to rough ER. These secretions are packaged by the Golgi complex into the secretory vesicles and are released from the cell via exocytosis. Tear glands, salivary glands are some examples of merocrine glands.

The cells of holocrine glands do not have vesicles but accumulate a secretory product in their cytosol. The mature secretory cells rupture to release the secretory product. This results in the presence of large amounts of lipids from the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes in secretions of these glands. One example of a holocrine gland is an oil-producing gland of the skin.
