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.
I believe the answer you are looking for has to do with cells, they are the basic building block of life and are the smallest life that can support itself.
Are there suppose to be choices?
1. The RNA that has an amino acid attached to it, and that binds to the codon on the mRNA, is called a tRNA.
tRNA are molecules involved in protein synthesis (translation) and those molecules connect codons from mRNA with the amino acids they encode.tRNA has anticodone that binds to mRNA codone.
2. The process, performed by the ribosome, of reading mRNA and synthesizing a protein is called translation.
Translation is a process of gene expression in which proteins are synthesized (translated from the codons on mRNA).
3. Initiation of translation always happens at the start codon of the mRNA.
Translation process can be divided into three stages: initiation (starting off), elongation (adding amino acids to peptide chain that is going to become protein) and termination (finishing up).
4. Amino acids are attached to tRNA by enzymes called aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase.
These enzymes are part of the elongation stage of translation and they catalyze the adding of amino acids.
5. Termination of translation happens when the ribosome hits a stop codon on the mRNA.
Termination is the stage in which the finished polypeptide chain (future protein) is released from the ribosome.
