Estimate how much the brain would swell due to osmosis if the concentration of the cerebrospinal fluid fell to 280mm. in other w

ords, find what the new volume of the brain would be once equilibrium was reestablished. assume that (i) the cerebrospinal fluid is constantly replenished, so its solute concentration won't change; (ii) only water is passing across the cell membranes into brain cells (not solutes); and (iii) the volume of the brain is mostly water.

Since the average osmotic pressure of the brain is 300mM and the concentration of the solution is 280mM, that means there is 20mM difference between the brain cells and CSF. This will induce osmosis and cause water to move from the CSF into the brain until the concentration becomes same. Assuming brain volume is 1200ml and the CSF constantly replaced, then the estimation of fluid should be: 20mM/300mM * 1200ml= 80 mlIf it made percent it should be: 80ml / 1200ml= 6.67%

Volgvan
The answer is sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water.

In the photosynthesis plants use sunlight as an energy and convert it into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates. Carbon dioxide and water are used for carbohydrate synthesis. This process occurs in the chloroplasts containing chlorophyll, which is necessary for absorbing energy from sunlight.

To investigate the possible presence of introns in three newly discovered genes (X, Y, and Z), you perform an experiment in whic
REY [17]

Answer:

a). At least one intron must be present in gene X.

b). At least two intron must be present in gene Y

c). It is impossible to determine whether there are any introns in gene Z.

Explanation:

Introns may be defined as the segments in the RNA molecule or the DNA molecule that does not code for proteins and they interrupts the sequences of each of the molecules.

In the context, we get :

a). In the gene X, at least one of the intron is present. Sometimes more than one introns may also be present. Due to slicing, we get one band less in the cDNA which is made from the mRNA.

b). In dene Y, at least one intron is present. Sometimes more than one introns are present inside the gene Y. In this case we get two bands less in the gene due to slicing.

c). In gene Z, it is not possible to determine the number of introns present in them. In genes X and Y, the Haelll enzyme is present in the intron. Therefore we get less of band after splicing the mRNA to cDNA.
