Mr. Malone is going into a shock because of blood loss, so paramedics infuse a saline solution. Why would this help?

1 answer:

6 0

Saline solutions have the same or close to the same amount of salt as our blood does, so we get the amount of salt needed for our bodies. During blood loss, you lose the salt you need, so they're basically adding it back in with the saline solution, making your electrolyte balance go back to normal level. It also gives us the right amount of water to keep us hydrated.

Very low concentrations of detergent make membranes leaky to small molecules and ions without damaging proteins. In isolated mit

BigorU [14]

No, because with a leaky membrane, the proton gradient cannot be maintained

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The cell membrane is composed of a protein lipid bilayer. The detergent is very efficient to clean out portions of lipid from the protein part, thus disrupting the cell membrane. In presence of low concentration of detergent, the small portions of lipid are taken out, leaving the cell membrane structure intact, but with smaller pores which can lead to leakage of several smaller substances from inside.

So these leaky membranes don't allow the gradient of proton to build up. Thus ATP cannot be produced. So the cell cannot respire with detergent present.

Why virus, virions, prions have no place in five kingdom classification

Ainat [17]

Hey, there!!

There is no place for virus, virions, prions in kungdom classification. The reason is they show both living and non living characters, which don't define them whether they are living beings or non living things.

As in 5 kingdoms, the only living organisms are classified.

Kingdom Monera mostly deals with the organism which contains prokaryotic cells.
Kingdom Protista deals with the organism which have eukaryotic cells.
Kingdom Fungi deals with various fungal organism.
Kingdom Plantae deals with various type of plants.
Kingdom Animalia deals with various type of animals.

So, you can see that there is non of the kingdoms which deals with the organism which have similar characteristics like viruses, virions and prions.

Hope it helps...
