Two major problems occur in water intoxication; one problem is that the overhydration leads to a non-homeostatic decrease in the

concentration of __________; this leads to a significant decrease in blood osmotic pressure. The second problem is that the excessive increase in water volume, due to too much water intake, increases its extracellular (intravascular and interstitial) concentration out of normal homeostatic range. This high extracellular concentration of water causes water to move down its concentration gradient into cells; cells begin to __________ to a non-physiologic size.

Options are not provided inthe question. Hence, the complete question is

Two major problems occur in water intoxication; one problem is that the overhydration leads to a non-homeostatic decrease in the concentration of __________; this leads to a significant decrease in blood osmotic pressure. The second problem is that the excessive increase in water volume, due to too much water intake, increases its extracellular (intravascular and interstitial) concentration out of normal homeostatic range. This high extracellular concentration of water causes water to move down its concentration gradient into cells; cells begin to __________ to a non-physiologic size.

A. antibodies; shrink

B. hormones; swell

C. blood solutes; swell

D. blood solutes; shrink

Answer:

C. blood solutes; swell

Explanation:

Water intoxication or  hyperhydration or water poisoning is a fatal brain functional disorder caused due to excessive water consumption forces the normal electrolyte balance in the body outside safe limits.

There are two major impact sofwater intoxication on health that includes:

  1. Due to overhydration, blood solutes concentration decreases due to imbalance in blood level and results in decrease in blood osmotic pressure.
  2. Due to intake of excessive water, extracellular concentration increases  which is out of normal homeostatic range. This excessive water and high etracellular concentration allows water to move down its concentration gradient into cells and resluts into swelling of cell.

Hence, the correct option is C.

What occurs during nondisjunction and the effect of the resulting cells
Llana [10]

Answer:

Failure of chromosome to separate

Explanation:

The main essence of meiotic division is to form daughter cells with a reduced number of chromosomes that will maintain the correct chromosomal number in an organism. This is achieved when chromosomes separate during gamete formation (meiosis) to produce haploid (n) gametes.

However, a case may arise whereby chromosomes fail to separate during the anaphase stage of meiosis. This case is referred to as MEIOTIC NON-DISJUNCTION. As meiosis occurs in two stages i.e. meiosis I and II, so does meiotic nondisjunction. It can occur in meiosis I, where homologous chromosomes fail to separate or meiosis II, where sister chromatids fail to separate.

If it occurs in meiosis I, Two gametes will have a n-1 chromosome number i.e. one chromosome is missing while Two other gametes will have n+1 chromosome number i.e. one extra chromosome is added.

If it occurs in meiosis II, two normal haploid gametes (n) will be produced while the other two will have a n+1 and n-1 chromosome number respectively.

When these abnormal gametes (n+1, n-1) fuses with a normal gamete (n), the resulting organisms possess a chromosomal anomaly called ANEUPLOIDY i.e. a disorder in chromosomal number. The organisms will have 47 and 45 chromosomes depending on whether n+1 or n-1 gametes is involved respectively.

What are some Characteristics of the Golden eagle?
Anna [14]

Answer:

Golden Eagles have a square tail, fully feathered legs and large talons. Females are much larger than males and they both have the same coloured plumage. Golden Eagles are very agile in flight and they can remain in the air for hours. They have a graceful, soaring flight with their wingtips being slightly upturned.

Studying the folding patterns of protein molecules can help microbiologists better understand cellular processes as well as some
xz_007 [3.2K]
The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".

Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.

Question 4
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The concentration of solution that contains a large amount of solute in the solvent could be described as concentrated

Explanation:

The concentration of solution that contains a large amount of solute in the solvent could not be described as diluted because i have just a little amount of solute.

The concentration of solution that contains a large amount of solute in the solvent could not be described as polar because polarity has a relation between molecules and its charges. Solvents or solutes are polar or not.

The concentration of solution that contains a large amount of solute in the solvent could not be described as unsaturated because unsaturated means that the mass of solvent is greater than solute.
