Answer:
A)100mL B)50mL C)The second option D)Hypoosmotic Environment
Explanation:
The average Na concentration in the seas and oceans of the world is around 3,5% which mean that in 100 ml of sea water, there is around 3,5 grams of Na.
The weight of one mol of NaCl is 58,44 grams. For 3,5 grams of NaCl, we get 3,5/58,44 = 0,060 mol of NaCl which is 0,060x1000 = 60 mmol/100ml. According to this and the information given in the question about the secretion of the salt glands', if the average sodium concentration is 600mmol/L, we have 60*10 = 600mmol/L so it would take 100 mililiters of water to excrete.
If the average Na concentration of the salt gland's secretion were 300 mmol/L, only 50 mililiters of water would be needed to excrete the same sodium load.
The second option of secretion is hyperosmotic to seawater because the concentration is higher.
Osmoregulation is the process of balancing the amount of water and salt between the body of the organism and its surrounding environment. For salt glands to be advantageous for osmoregulation, they need to be in a hypoosmotic environment.
I hope this answer helps.
Most of the metabolic work is in the:
Cell Body
Answer:
a. Mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity
b. The contraction in the stomach breaks the food down into smaller pieces. These pieces are then moved to the small intestine.
c. In the small intestine, food particles are broken down into nutrients, fat, protein and carbohydrates which are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Explanation:
a. First step of digestive system functioning is the mastication process and formation of bolus in the oral cavity.
b. The contraction in stomach, with the help of digestive enzymes and acids, break the food down into smaller pieces. The small pieces of food are then released into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
c. In the small intestine, two enzymes released from pancreas and gall bladder break down the food particles into fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Thereon, nutrients and carbohydrates, proteins and fats are absorbed into the bloodstream.
"The set of observable characteristics of an individual..." is what i found on google, so i'm guessing its a.
hope this helps :)
