I cannot found the exercise anywhere, so I will just explain how the toxin works.

A toxin is a toxic substance made by a living organism such as a bacterium, a fungus, a plant or an animal.

Labil toxins are toxins which are by easily degraded. among these toxins, there is the toxin of Escherichia coli and the cholera toxin of <span>Vibrio cholerea.
</span>
The intracellular target of cholera toxin is adenylate cyclase, one of the most important eukaryotic cell regulatory systems. This enzyme is involved in the conversion of ATP into a cyclic AMP (cAMP), a crucial intracellular messenger in a wide variety of cellular processes.
Cholera toxin catalyzes the transfer of ADP-ribose from NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) to a specific arginine residue of the Gsa protein, resulting in the activation of adenylate cyclase and consequently the increase of the intracellular level cAMP. AMPc activates a cAMP-dependent protein kinase, which leads to phosphorylation of the protein, modification of ion transport and finally diarrhea.

Sodium bicarbonate is an old standby antacid. it is not recommended for persons suffering from high blood pressure because
Dimas [21]
<span>The sodium in sodium bicarbonate increases the sodium concentration in the blood stream. Through osmosis, larger amounts of water enters the blood stream, thereby increasing the person's blood pressure. For persons with already high blood pressure, this can prove to be dangerous.</span>

True or false, most lakes grow larger over time due to erosion?
ipn [44]

Answer: False

A lake is a water body that is surrounded by land. The water in the lake comes from melting glaciers, rain, groundwater, rivers. Lake formation also occurs when a water body is restricted to it's natural flow. Erosion due to wind  and water will limit the life of lake. As, soil removed during landslides or mudslides from hills or mountains get settled as debris at the bottom of lake will cause water pollution. Also, soil coming from agricultural field through water will carry in it fertilizers ,which will promote excessive plant and algal growth in lakes therefore, oxygen content of lake water will decrease which lead to death of animals residing in lake hence, will ultimately lead to water pollution ,which will be responsible for limiting the life of lake.

Which is an SI derived unit measurement?<br><br>0.56 kg<br>01.10 m<br>2730K<br>02.5 N​
balandron [24]

Answer:

02.5 N​

Explanation:

02.5 N​ is a derived unit of measurement.

A derived unit is one that is obtained by combining two or more fundamental units.

                    Force = mass x acceleration

                The unit of mass = kg

                                   acceleration = m/s²

Combining the two;          kg x m/s²  = kgms²

          1N = 1  kgms²

kg, m, k and N are fundamental particles

Where does the oxygen released during photosynthesis come from​
victus00 [196]

Answer:

Oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from the splitting or hydrolysis of water in the green plants. Cornelius van Niel experimentally proved for the first time that the oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from water and not from carbon dioxide.
