Answer: Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed immediately, so it is used to combine ADP with phosphate ions to form ATP molecules. During the process of cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is given off as a waste product. This carbon dioxide can be used by photosynthesizing cells to form new carbohydrates. Also in the process of cellular respiration, oxygen gas is required to serve as an acceptor of electrons. This oxygen gas is identical to the oxygen gas given off in photosynthesis.

Answer:
the kidneys excrete salt into the urine when dietary salt levels rise
Explanation:
Hyponatremia is an electrolyte imbalance, with a low level of sodium in the blood. The normal value of sodium in adults is 136 to 145 mEq / L. Sodium is an element, or electrolyte of the blood. Sodium chloride is commonly known as table salt.
Certain conditions can cause decreased sodium in the blood. Specific causes of hyponatremia include:
Water poisoning (water replacement without electrolyte replacement).
Problems in the kidneys, heart or liver.
Medications: such as diuretics, Heparin, certain chemotherapeutics (Aminoglutethimide, Cyclophosphamide and Vincristine).
Conditions related to steroids, hormones or metabolic defects, such as a syndrome that alters the secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SSIHA). If this occurs, you urinate frequently and the kidneys excrete too much sodium. This can result from many conditions, including certain types of lung cancer.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
A mutation is any alteration in the genetic sequence of the genome of a particular organism. Mutations in the germline (i.e., gametes) can pass to the next generation, thereby these mutations can increase their frequency in the population if they are beneficial or 'adaptive' for the organism in the environment in which the organism lives (in this case, an insect/bug). The mutation rate can be defined as the probability of mutations in a single gene/<em>locus</em>/organism over time. Mutation rates are highly variable and they depend on the organism/cell that suffers the mutation (e.g., prokaryotic cells are more prone to suffer mutations compared to eukaryotic cells), type of mutations (e.g., point mutations, fragment deletions, etc), type of genetic sequence (e.g., mitochondrial DNA sequences are more prone to suffer mutations compared to nuclear DNA), type of cell (multicellular organisms), stage of development, etc. Thus, the mutation rate is the frequency by which a genetic sequence changes from the wild-type to a 'mutant' variant, which is often indicated as the number of mutations <em>per</em> round of replication, <em>per</em> gamete, <em>per</em> cell division, etc. In a single gene sequence, the mutation rate can be estimated as the number of <em>de novo</em> mutations per nucleotide <em>per</em> generation. For example, in humans, the mutation rate ranges from 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ <em>per </em>gene <em>per</em> generation.
