Answer:

Sodium intake is higher than recommended, so intake is outside the guidelines established by the DRI committee.

Explanation:

The dietary recommendations established by the DRI (Dietary Reference Intake) committee are around 1300 to 1500 mg/day, with an established maximum of 2200 mg/day. If a person's daily sodium intake is 3000 mg -1000 mg by sodium preservatives in processed foods + 2000 mg by added salt- it is obviously outside the DRI comitee's recommendation limit.

Sodium -an electrolyte needed for organic processes- is found in common salt and processed products, such as monosodium glutamate, and excess intake has been linked to diseases such as high blood pressure. That is why its moderate consumption is recommended.

What is the activation energy of a chemical reaction?
alexandr402 [8]

A substance that modifies the transition state to lower the activation energy is termed a catalyst; a catalyst composed only of protein and (if applicable) small molecule cofactors is termed an enzyme. It is important to note that a catalyst increases the rate of reaction without being consumed by it.

Describe the effects of NE and Ach on contractile force that you observed today. Given your knowledge of sympathetic and parasym
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The answer is Norepinephrine.

Explanation:

Acetylcholine (Ach) and Norepinephrine (NE) are both chemical substances (neurotransmitters) released primarily by nerve cells and they affect different parts and systems of the body. Acetylcholine mostly targets the muscles and the brain and it is a part of the parasymphatetic nervous system whereas norepinephrine targets the whole body and has an effect that leads to the contraction of muscles and the increase of the heart rate. Norepinephrine is a part of the symphatetic nervous system.

Since the symphatetic nervous system is responsible for the crucial "fight-or-flight" response of our body, it has a more dramatic effect on the muscle contraction. Norepinephrine, being a part of the symphatetic nervous system, should result in a more drastic change in contractile force.

I hope this answer helps.
