Explain why the underproduction of albumin by a cirrhotic liver contributes to excessive filtration, which leads to ascites. Ref
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Albumin is produced mainly by the liver. Albumin is the major protein that is acts as the carrier protein for steroids, thyroid hormones and fatty acids in the blood.

Albumin stays in blood vessels as they are too large to move across the capillary walls, in blood vessels by contributing to osmotic pressure or colloid osmotic pressure that maintain water volume. So, the albumin is the protein that is involve primarily on the water reabsorption.

Saltwater fish constantly drink water but still excrete concentrated urine to compensate for the water loss. They also have gill
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The above paragraphs describes that how salt- and fresh-water fish regulates their osmoregulation. Hence, the correct answer would be c. have adapted to deal with osmosis.

Osmosis is the process by which solvent's molecule move from region of low concentration (hypo-tonic) to the region of high concentration (hyper-tonic) through a semi-permeable membrane.

In sea-water fishes, the body fluids are hypo-tonic to the surrounding water and thus water is kept moving out of their gills. In order to prevent the excess water loss they need to drink water constantly and excrete concentrated urine.

In contrast, fresh-water fishes body fluids are hyper-tonic to surrounding water and hence, water keeps entering in their body through gills. So, in order to prevent excess dilution they absorb salt from surrounding with the help of gills and also their bodies reabsorb salt from urine.

Answer:

The five spheres of Earth are the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, biospheres.

The ocean is one environment that is comprised of both the hydrosphere and biosphere. The ocean, being nothing but water, serves as the whole known world to all marine life within, which serves as the biosphere component.

Mountainous environments are also made up of multiple spheres; including, but not limited to, cryosphere, geosphere, with a little bit of biosphere as well. Mountains--which are giant rock formations created by years of seismic activity--are mostly covered in snow near the peaks due to low temperature, which will melt at different points during the year. A small assortment of wildlife call these areas home, such as jackrabbits, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, bear, gray wolf, coyote, lynx, and wolverine.
