While traveling through the rain forests of Peru, you are introduced to a rare and exotic plant. You discover that it contains a

toxin that blocks the reabsorption of sodium ions from the proximal tubule. If administered, what affect would this toxin have on the reabsorption of water and other electrolytes? While traveling through the rain forests of Peru, you are introduced to a rare and exotic plant. You discover that it contains a toxin that blocks the reabsorption of sodium ions from the proximal tubule. If administered, what affect would this toxin have on the reabsorption of water and other electrolytes? The toxin would significantly decrease the amount of water reabsorbed but would significantly increase the number of other electrolytes reabsorbed by the proximal tubule. The toxin would significantly increase the amount of water absorbed and the electrical gradient for reabsorbing chloride. The toxin would significantly decrease the amount of water and certain electrolytes reabsorbed by the proximal tubule. The toxin would significantly increase the amount of water and calcium ions reabsorbed by the proximal tubule.

Answer:

A. Oedema and ion imbalance

Explanation:

The proximal tubule is very important to the maintenance of homeostasis in the renal microenvironment. The alterations of the physiological functions will therefore distort the reabsorption of other ions. The blockage of sodium reabsorption into the channel will leads to an hypotonic internal environment. This will afterward leads to reduction of the reabsorption of water into the organ and increase the reabsorption of other ions into it. This will have clinical effect on the organism. Which is oedema of the extracellular surrounding of the tubules through accumulation of fluids and could lead to imbalance in neurological sense due to the imbalance in other ions.

Think about a bush in your back yard. Is it alive according to the characteristics of life? Why or why not?​

Konichiwa~! My name is Zalgo and I am here to help you out on this amazing day. According to my knowledge and evidence, I would say that the bush is very well alive. It grows, it provides you an element that you need to survive, and if you cut it down to a size you like, all it will do is grow back up.

I hope that this info helps! :D

Which molecule is less soluble in water--a fat or a phospholipid? Why?
VladimirAG [237]
Fat is less soluble in water compared to phospholipids.
This is because, fat is made up of three molecules of fatty acids which are not polar in nature at all, thus they mixed very poorly with water.
Phospholipids on the other hand has its molecules divided into two distinct regions, the head and the tail region. The head region is hydrophillic and it is polar in nature, that is, it mixes well with water. The tail region is made up of the fatty components  and it is hydrophobic.
Because of this difference in structure, phospholipid will dissolve better in water.
