D)

Explanation:

Ornithine and Citrulline are the amino acids which are metabolites in the urea cycle but not used as building blocks of proteins.

Ornithine is the most important reactant in urea cycle that is responsible for 80% of the excretion of nitrogen in the body. It even improves liver function.

Even Citrulline is not used in the building blocks of protein, Citrulline is mainly used to widen blood vessels and may play a role in muscle building.

stepladder [879]

Answer:

726 torr

Explanation:

Generally, atmospheric pressure can be measured using a manometer which is in form of a U-shaped tube. In addition, 1 mm Hg is equivalent to 1 torr. Therefore, 752 torr is equivalent to 752 mm Hg. Therefore, the total pressure will be equivalent to the atmospheric pressure (mm Hg) + the mercury height.

In this case, the mercury height = -26 mm

Thus:

The helium pressure = 752 - 26 = 726 mm Hg

This is also equivalent to 726 torr
