The correct answer is: 2- Hypertension, or high blood pressure

Hypertension leads to heart failure. Also, as a result of hypertension body tends to retain fluid in order to maintain adequate blood volume. A failing heart is unable to handle that extra fluid, so it is transferred out of the blood vessels and into tissues causing the swelling of extremitets or edema.

Talja [164]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

The bones in the forelimbs of penguins and seals are best described as analogous, while the flippers of penguins and seals are homologous.

Analogous structures are structures that are similar in different organisms, even though they are unrelated to each other. For instance, the wings of birds and the fins of a penguin or a fish.

Homologous structures are similar structures in related organisms. Both the penguins and the seals have flippers. Another example is the human arm and the wings of a bat. Both have similar structures internally, but while a human lifts items with their hands, the birds use theirs for flying.

How are the products of protein hydrolysis by an aminopeptidase used in metabolism?
NNADVOKAT [17]
Aminopeptidases are enzymes that cleave polypeptides, or proteins,at the N terminus, or the amino end.  Protein hydrolysis is breaking down proteins into amino acids by adding water. Aminopeptidases are enzymes that cause protein hydrolysis. Once the protein is broken down into amino acids, the amino acids can be metabolized. Usually the body uses carbohydrates or lipids for metabolism, but in rare cases, such as starvation, proteins can be broken down and used for energy. 
Protein metabolism starts with the enzyme,pepsin, in the stomach and the smaller polypeptides travel to the small intestine where trypsin and chymotrypsin break them down into amino acids. Most of the newly available amino acids are combined to form new proteins. If the body has no need for proteins, they are converted to glucose or ketones and are decomposed. Breaking down amino acids results in nitrogen, which is converted to urine. In starvation, protein is broken down to amino acids and amino acids are broken down to oxaloacetate  acid, pyruvate  and acetyl coA and these intermediates are used in the Kreb cycle to produce ATP.
