An extracorporeal liver device is similar to a kidney dialysis because this is the device used for liver dialysis.

Liver dialysis or technically known as Single-Pass Albumin Dialysis is designed to remove protein-bound toxins. It is the simplest form of albumin dialysis which utilizes the rudimentary principles of hemodialysis or hemodiafiltration. The dynamics of this procedure begins with the patient's blood flowing through a standard high-flux dialyzer that is impermeable to albumin. This is then dialyzed against a dialysate with an albumin concentration of 2%-5%, which is discarded after a single pass. It allows the removal of albumin-bound molecules that are minute enough to pass through the porous membrane and as well as water-soluble toxins.

Which of the following pairings of phylum and description is incorrect? A Echinodermata—bilateral symmetry as a larva, coelomate

Flura [38]

Answer:

Porifera—gastrovascular cavity, coelomate.

Explanation:

Sponges do not contain digestive system but obtain nutrients through the diffusion process. Porifera is the most commonly asymmetrical in nature but can also have radial symmetry. Porifera has no coelom.

Lacking a true digestive system, they depend on the intracellular digestive processes of their choanocytes for their energy intake. Gas exchange, circulation, and excretion occur by diffusion between the water and the cells.

Answer:

B. AUU CGC AUC UUG AAC

Explanation:

<em>According to the rule of base pairing in DNA, the pyrimidine bases always pair with purine bases. Specifically, adenine (A) always pair with thymine (T) while Guanine (G) always pair with cytosine (C). In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U).</em>

Hence, TAA GCG TAG AAC TTG will give

AUU CGC AUC UUG AAC.
