Answer:

(2) water would move out of body cells and cause them to dehydrate

Explanation:

If the amount of salts in the intravenous fluid given to the patient was greater than the usual amount, the patient's cells would osmosis, due to salt imbalance in the subject's body. As a result of osmosis, water would come out of cells in an attempt to balance the amount of water in the body and leave the body dehydrated.

Osmosis is the passage of water from a less concentrated medium to a more concentrated medium through the plasma membrane seeking to equalize the salt concentrations between the internal and external medium of a cell. Whenever there is a difference in concentration between the external and internal environment of the cell, water will move from the least concentrated to the most naturally concentrated.

The answer would be E because boys inherit the Y chromosome from the dad which in this case would have the color blind trait. Girls don’t get the y from the father to get the color blind trait not be color blind because girls have 2 (X) chromosomes. Hope this helps

Answer:

D. 4E-BP1 binding to elF4E prevents loading of the mRNA onto the ribosome.

Explanation

In eukaryotic organisms, the eIF4E translation initiation factor functions by directing the ribosomes to the 5'-terminal cap structure of the messenger RNA (mRNA) in order to start the translation. Moreover, phosphorylation is a posttranslational modification of specific amino acids on proteins that play diverse cellular functions by altering protein stability, location, and/or enzymatic activity. It has been shown that elF4E phosphorylation is increased in response to cellular stimuli that induce translation in the ribosomes (e.g., growth factors, hormones, etc). The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E)-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) is a repressor of mRNA translation which is phosphorylated and inactivated by growth factors and hormones, thereby inhibiting 4E-BP1 binding to elF4E and consequently activating translation.
