Proteins

Proteins is the most thermogenic of all nutrients and macromolecules we eat. Thermogenesis is the generation of due to digestion and metabolism of food. Studies shows that proteins tend to be more thermogenic that carbohydrates and fats. This means that the calorie given of by proteins is converted and released as heat and less available for storage. This means that the stored energy formed from protein much of it is released as heat and unlike other macromolecules few of it is converted to a energy that can be stored.

Explanation:

The carrying capacity is the amount of organisms that the habitat is able to support. Invasive species compete with native species for limited resources including food, niche, etc. This phenomenon may have important negative effects on the survival of native species, even it may lead to the extinction if the invasive species is successful

A red blood cell with an osmolarity of 300 mOsM (non-penetrating solutes) swells but does not lyse when placed in a 300 mOsM sol

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

See below for answer

Explanation:

A. 200 mOsM NaCl

This solution is hypotonic to the red blood cell (RBC) with penetrating solute. The RBCs will swell up and burst because the water will move into the cells.

B. 400 mOsM urea

This solution is hypertonic to the RBCs with non-penetrating solutes. Water will leave the cells via osmosis and the cells will shrink and appear shriveled.

C. 100 mOsM urea plus 200 mOsM NaCl

This time both penetrating and non-penetrating solute is present. The solution is isotonic to the RBCs and although there will be movement of water between the cells and the solution, there will be no overall change in the concentration of water for each and no change in appearance of the cells.

D. 300 mOsM urea

The RBCs will not lyse nor shrivel as again the solution is isotonic to the RBCs.
