The osmolarity of physiological saline solution is 0.30 osmol/L.Assuming that the cell membrane is not permeable to its ions, is

a 0.185 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic to red blood cells? If normal red blood cells were suspended in this Na2SO4 solution, what would be the expected outcome?

Answer:

This question have two parts.

Question 1. Is a 0.185 M aqueous solution of sodium sulfate, Na2SO4, hypertonic, hypotonic or isotonic to red blood cells?

Answer:

Hypotonic because sodium sulfate is a detergent which can cross the lipid bi-layer.

Question 2. If normal red blood cells were suspended in this Na2SO4 solution, what would be the expected outcome?

Answer:

Hemolysis (Bursting of Red blood cells) will occur due to excessive movement of water inside the cell resulting from sodium sulfate solution.

Define the 3 signals for activation and the 3 outcomes of the complement system.\
sp2606 [1]
* More than 40 proteins and glycoproteins involved in the complement system are synthesized by the liver, macrophages, epithelial cells, they are present in the blood in plasmatic form, membrane, some have an enzymatic activity, regulator or membrane receptorThese are elements of the humoral innate immune response, they fight infections, purify immune complexes and apoptotic bodies.
<span>There are indeed three ways to activate the complement:</span>
Classical pathway: Activated by Immunoglobulins in immune complexes, aggregated Immunoglobulins, DNA, CRP, apoptotic bodies .......it involves nine fractions, starting with C1, then C4, C2, C3, to form a classical C5 convertase, then, activation of C5, C6, C7, C8, C9.

Alternative pathway: activated by polysaccharides (bacterial endotoxin), vascular wall poor in sialic acid, aggregated IgE ...C3b like is the first component in the alternate channel cascade, it will create an amplification loop, and form an alternative C5 convertase.

Lecithin pathway: Activated by mannose, fucose (carbohydrate of microorganisms)The first component is the complex MBL / MASP1 / MASP2: "mannose-binding protein": works according to the same principle as the complex C1 of the classical way (MASP2 cleaves the C4 and the rest of the cascade is equivalent to that of the classical way).

the three ways have the same outcome: A C5 convertase (formed by one of the pathways) cleaves C5 into C5a and C5b: C5b is deposited far from other fractions on the antigenic surface. The fixation of C5b in the cell is followed by that of C6, C7, C8, and C9 (9 molecules of C9): formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) ==> Death of the cell by osmotic shock

Growth factors and cytokines both lead to tyrosine phosphorylation through receptors, but they do so through different mechanism
gladu [14]

Answer:

The growth factor receptors have a kinase domain while the Cytokines receptors do not contain a kinase domain as part of their structure.

Explanation:

The two are signaling molecules that control cell activities in some manners, such paracrine, endocrine and autocrine manners.

The receptor kinase domain can be specific for substrate sites in which phosphorylation occurs.
