Since the average osmotic pressure of the brain is 300mM and the concentration of the solution is 280mM, that means there is 20mM difference between the brain cells and CSF. This will induce osmosis and cause water to move from the CSF into the brain until the concentration becomes same. Assuming brain volume is 1200ml and the CSF constantly replaced., then the estimation of fluid should be: 20mM/300mM * 1200ml= 80 ml
If it made percent it should be: 80ml / 1200ml= 6.67%
The fat didn't really leave his body. Fat was converted to glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathway to give him energy during the period of starvation.
Fat is stored in the body in the adipose tissue. Fat plays so many roles in the body such as;
- Protection of vital organs
- Insulating the body from cold
- Serving as an energy store
In times of starvation, fact could also be broken down to release energy. This occurs when fat is broken down to glycerol and fatty acids. When this occurs, glycerol goes to the liver where it is converted to glucose in the gluconeogenesis pathway. This helps to produce energy in times of starvation thereby depleting the body's fat reserve.
As this process occurs, the fat reserve in my friend's body kept going down resulting in his loss of about 15 Ibs of weight.

Examples of positive and beneficial mutation:
- Antibiotic resistance by bacteria
- Almond tree gene mutation
- Humans immunity to HIV
Examples of negative and harmful mutation
- Cystic fibrosis
- Frame shift mutation
- Cancer
Examples of neutral mutation;
- Bovine and human insulin
- Silent point mutation
- Missense mutation
<h3>What are mutation?</h3>
Mutations are results from change in gene structures that leads to variations in form that can be transferred or passed down to generations. This is usually caused by alterations in the single base unit of DNAs by insertion, deletion or rearrangement of genes or chromosomes.
Positive and beneficial mutations result in retained from of adaptation like antibiotic resistance by bacteria, harmful mutation causes harm such as cancer, while neutral has little or no effect example, silent mutations.

It may be A
I'm not really sure but thats what I think.
These are always that B. nonhuman life in an urban ecosystem differs from that in an undeveloped forest ecosystem. That is the correct answer.
