Mrs. f's blood work has come back and shows that she has low plasma osmolarity and decreased levels of plasma proteins and plasm

a k+. you can see how plasma proteins are related to her liver failure, since the liver synthesizes plasma proteins. but why does she have low k+ levels?

<u>Answer:</u>

Mrs F is suffering from the liver disease, it is prominent from her plasma protein study. Plasma proteins are secreted from liver, and its lessening is related to liver failure.

But liver has different other functions too. The RAAS or Renin Angiotensin Aldosterone System is dependent on liver. Angiotensinogen I is converted to Angiotensinogen II in liver. In its absence, the potassium secretion is not controlled in kidney. It is secreted in urine, so urine potassium is high, but blood potassium lessens.

Mrs. F has low k+ levels because the liver destroys aldosterone. Aldosterone is a substance used to stimulate the secretion of potassium (k+) in the kidneys. Destruction of this enzyme would mean the reduction of potassium in the body. The inhibition of aldosterone occurs when renin is inhibited.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: Mercury has been well known as an environmental pollutant for several decades. As early as the 1950's it was established that emissions of mercury to the environment could have serious effects on human health. These early studies demonstrated that fish and other wildlife from various ecosystems commonly attain mercury levels of toxicological concern when directly affected by mercury-containing emissions from human-related activities. Human health concerns arise when fish and wildlife from these ecosystems are consumed by humans.

During the past decade, a new trend has emerged with regard to mercury pollution. Investigations initiated in the late 1980's in the northern-tier states of the U.S., Canada, and Nordic countries found that fish, mainly from nutrient-poor lakes and often in very remote areas, commonly have high levels of mercury. More recent fish sampling surveys in other regions of the U.S. have shown widespread mercury contamination in streams, wet-lands, reservoirs, and lakes. To date, 33 states have issued fish consumption advisories because of mercury contamination.

These continental to global scale occurrences of mercury contamination cannot be linked to individual emissions of mercury, but instead are due to widespread air pollution. When scientists measure mercury levels in air and surface water, however, the observed levels are extraordinarily low.

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

B)Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere while aerobic respiration removes oxygen from the atmosphere.

Explanation:

Only option B satisfies the answer to the question.

We know that photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their foods in the presence of carbon dioxide and sunlight. Carbondioxie in the environment is used to manufacture food in plants. The bye product of photosynthesis is oxygen gas. Oxygen gas is used for aerobic respiration in animals and is essential for their life. This way photosynthesis adds to the pool of oxygen in the atmosphere and aerobic respiration removes from the pool.
