Assume that endogenous acid production is 40 meq during a 12-hr period. A urine sample collected during this time contains 30 mm

ol NH4 and 15 meq titratable acid. If the body is in steady state for HCO3-, how much HCO3- must be in this urine sample?

Answer:

Thus, the Quantity of HCo_{3}^{-} Present in urine sample in 24 hours is 35mmol

Explanation:

Acid Production in 12 hours = 40 meq

For, 24 hours = 40 meq × 2

Acid Production in 24 hours = 80 meq

Urine sample for NH4^{+} = 30mmol

HCo_{3}^{-} Present in Urine Sample in 24 hours

= Acid Production - Urine sample for NH4^{+} - Titratable Acid

= 80 - 30 - 15

= 50 - 15

= 35mmol

HCo_{3}^{-} Present in urine sample in 24 hours is 35mmol

Do you think it is always safe to pour waste chemicals and solution down the sink with lots of water? Explain.
Elenna [48]
It is never safe to pour waste chemicals anywhere but a place where they can be properly and expertly disposed. While there may be a lot of water to dilute the solution, there is no telling what chemical compounds or substances are in the drain/sewage system, and if in an unfortunate event, the waste chemicals and preexisting ones do not mix well, then you may have a very dangerous situation.

Ventricular systole begins during the __________ phase of the cardiac cycle. Ventricular systole begins during the __________ ph
Zina [86]

Answer

              Ventricular systole begins during the  <u>isovolumetric contraction </u>phase of the cardiac cycle.

Explanation

1. Ventricular ejection

The forceful expulsion of blood from the ventricles into the aorta and the pulmonary arteries.

2. Isovolumetric contraction

                     The interval between the closing of the AV valves and the opening of the semilunar valves (aortic and pulmonary valves) is known as isovolumetric contraction. it is the beginig of systole. it is the first chamber systolic event. The myocardial muscle fibers have begun to shorten but have not developed enough pressure in the ventricles to overcome the aortic and pulmonary end-diastolic pressures and open the aortic and pulmonary valves. During this period of muscle fiber contraction, the ventricular volumes do not change.

3. Ventricular filling  

                 In this stage AV valve is opened and the blood that has accumulated in atria flow rapidly into ventricles. The ventricular volume increase rapidly. A third heart sound known as S3 is heared during this stage.

4. Isovolumetric relaxation

                  It is the beginning of diastole. The AV valve are closed at beginig. The atrium in diastole has been filling with blood on top of the closed AV valve, causing atrial pressure to rise gradually. The pressure in the ventricles continues to drop. Ventricular volume is at a minimum and is ready to be filled again with blood.

Why is it crucial that the daughter cells have identical copies of dna after replication?.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

Whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.

Explanation:

The explanation is basically what I had for the answer.

Hope I gave the right answer. It would be wrong for you to have a wrong answer.
