Which fluid-related hormone helps the body to lose fluids and reduce blood pressure?
Burka [1]

Answer:

Vasopressin

Explanation:

Vasopressin is an anti-diuretic hormone. Its main function is to control the osmolality and volume of body fluids, helping the body to lose fluids. The secretory neurons are activated as a result of increased osmotic pressure or reduced blood pressure, which is also reduced by this hormone. The release of this hormone has a potent vasoconstrictor effect, causing water retention to increase, acting as an antidiuretic hormone. The increased permeability of the collecting tubules and the thick ascending branches of the Henle loop, resulting from the exposure of aquaporins to the apical membrane, enables the diffusion of water found in the tubule cells to the medullary region of the kidney.

Kay [80]

Answer:

Explanation:

Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose while gluconeogenesis is the formation of glucose. Both pathways are almost the same except that the non-reversible reactions in glycolysis requires another enzyme during gluconeogenesis.

Glycolysis is a 10-step multi-enzyme pathway, in which three of these 10 steps are non-reversible. It is these three steps that basically differentiates the glycolytic pathway from gluconeogenesis. These three steps are bypassed by different enzymes during gluconeogenesis

1. The correct option here is c

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase converts glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate in glycolysis. This reaction is however a reversible reaction, hence this enzyme also converts 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate during gluconeogenesis.

2. The correct option here is b

Glucose 6-phosphatase converts glucose 6-phosphate to glucose during gluconeogenesis

3. The correct option here is d

Alcohol dehydrogenase converts ethanol into acetaldehyde. This reaction is not present in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis and hence the enzyme is not involved/present in these pathways.

4. The correct option here is b

Phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase converts oxaloacetate to phosphoenol pyruvate during gluconeogenesis

5. The correct option here is a

Phosphofructokinase-1 converts fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate during glycolysis

6. The correct here is c

Phosphoglycerate mutase converts 3-phosphoglycerate to 2-phosphoglycerate during glycolysis. This reaction is however a reversible reaction and hence this same enzyme converts 2-phosphoglycerate to 3-phosphoglycerate during gluconeogenesis.

7. The correct option here is a

Hexokinase converts glucose to glucose 6-phosphate during glycolysis.

8. The correct option here is d

Pyruvate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate to acetyl-coA. This reaction is one of the fates of pyruvate. This reaction is however not present in both glycolysis and gluconeogenesis and hence the enzyme is not involved/present in both also.

Which do you think is easier to identify on a karyotype - changes in chromosome number or in chromosome structure? explain.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

To obtain a view of an individual's karyotype, cytologists photograph the chromosomes and then cut and paste each chromosome into a chart, or karyogram, also known as an ideogram. In a given species, chromosomes can be identified by their number, size, centromere position, and banding patter
