Answer:
A)100mL B)50mL C)The second option D)Hypoosmotic Environment
Explanation:
The average Na concentration in the seas and oceans of the world is around 3,5% which mean that in 100 ml of sea water, there is around 3,5 grams of Na.
The weight of one mol of NaCl is 58,44 grams. For 3,5 grams of NaCl, we get 3,5/58,44 = 0,060 mol of NaCl which is 0,060x1000 = 60 mmol/100ml. According to this and the information given in the question about the secretion of the salt glands', if the average sodium concentration is 600mmol/L, we have 60*10 = 600mmol/L so it would take 100 mililiters of water to excrete.
If the average Na concentration of the salt gland's secretion were 300 mmol/L, only 50 mililiters of water would be needed to excrete the same sodium load.
The second option of secretion is hyperosmotic to seawater because the concentration is higher.
Osmoregulation is the process of balancing the amount of water and salt between the body of the organism and its surrounding environment. For salt glands to be advantageous for osmoregulation, they need to be in a hypoosmotic environment.
I hope this answer helps.
Answer: A low pCO2 indicates respiratory alkalosis which may be primary or secondary to a primary metabolic acidosis. Bicarbonate is calculated from measured [H+] and pCO2 values. A high standard [HCO3- ] indicates either primary metabolic alkalosis or a compensatory response to a primary respiratory acidosis.
Explanation: an increase in PCO2 causes a decrease in pH, which will increase minute ventilation and therefore increase alveolar ventilation to attempt to reach homeostasis. The higher the minute ventilation, the more exchange and loss of PCO2 will occur inversely.
According to the starling law, parasympathetic effects on cardiac rate and contractility include decreasing the rate of contraction and increasing the filling time resulting in a stronger contraction.
The Frank-starling law of the heart states that the stroke volume of the heart increases in response to an increase in the volume of blood filling the heart when all other factors remain constant.
The Answer is B i just took the test. Enjoy, i also just looked it up on a quizlet. That's another website you can use if it comes up in the search for the question.
