Explain how diffusion restored homeostasis during the dialysis treatment.
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

By maintaining amount of ions in the blood.

Countercurrent flow met the goals due to difference in concentration gradient.

Explanation:

Diffusion restored homeostasis during the dialysis treatment because during dialysis, the concentration of ion in the blood is maintained that leads to homeostasis.

Countercurrent flow met the goals because it flows in opposite direction while on the other hand, parallel flow did not meet the goals because it flows in the same direction. For example. the blood flows in one direction and the dialysate flows in the opposite direction. The countercurrent flow of the blood and dialysate increases the concentration gradient between the blood and dialysate. The increased gradient helps to remove more potassium, phosphorus and urea from the blood. If we used parallel flow so less  concentration gradient of solutes is present and hence, less potassium, phosphorus and urea are removed from the blood

Is fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activated, inhibited, or unaffected in response to a glucagon signal?
Crazy boy [7]

Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase is activated in response to a glucagon signal.

<h3>What is the purpose of Glucagon signals?</h3>
  • Glucagon signals specify that fuel molecules are required in the bloodstream.
  • So these signals activate Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase (F1, 6BP) so as to increase the level of sugar and other fuels required for production of energy.
  • In the process of gluconeogenesis, new glucose molecules are synthesized from other non carbohydrate sources.
  • As glucose is required in the bloodstream so F-1, 6BP should be activated as it acts as a rate limiting enzyme in gluconeogenesis.
  • Gluconeogenesis occurs when the dietary intake of glucose is very low.
  • Glucose is required as a source of energy by almost all body cells so in case of less oxygen it is synthesized from other molecules like amino acids.

Sulfur and phosphorus compounds enter bodies of water, such as ponds, lakes, and rivers by
Vesnalui [34]
Sulphur and phosphorus are deposited to water bodies throughSedimentation. The normative temperatures on earth allow minerals to exist in solid form. Therefore through runoffs, the minerals in the soil are carried by waters, especially rainwater, and deposited in water bodies where they sediment over time to the floors.
