Furosemide is a prescription drug used mainly to treat hypertension. It can also be used to treat edema. It is a loop diuretic and it helps prevent the body from absorbing too much salt.

The cholera toxin, an AB exotoxin, attaches an ADP-ribose group to the host's stimulatory G factor (Gs). The normal function of
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h2>b) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Some bacterial toxins cause disease by  altering the activity of G protein, cholera toxin is one of them
  • Cholera toxin catalyse ADP ribosylation of Gs and blocks GTPase activity thus Gs GTP become permanently active
  • Constitutive activation of Gs protein continuously induce adenylyl cyclase, cytosolic cAMP level rises that leads to activation of protein kinase A (pKA)
  • Activated pKA catalyse phosphorylation of two transmembrane proteins of intestinal epithelial cells:
  • CFTR cause excessive outflow of Cl- ion and Na+ H+ exchange cause efflux of Na+ ion, both enters in gut and form Na+ Cl-
  • Na+Cl- leads to outflow of water from the gut, resulting in diarrhea and dehydration and this condition may cause death of organisms due to loss of water and ions

Please Hurry). The Science of Biology: Question 1: Explain how sunlight is the primary source of energy for your own life? Quest
docker41 [41]

Answer:

1) The Sun is the major source of energy for organisms and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Producers, such as plants and algae, use energy from sunlight to make food energy by combining carbon dioxide and water to form organic matter. This process begins the flow of energy through almost all food webs                                                                                                                               2)Cellular respiration breaks down glucose into water and carbon dioxide producing 38 net ATP molecules. ATP is the energy containing nucleotide in cells while the energy found in glucose is used to make ATP. The key difference between glucose and ATP is the composition of these two molecules                                                                                                                                                 3)The basic idea of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined outcome. ... A key function in this step in the scientific method is deriving predictions from the hypotheses about the results of future experiments, and then performing those experiments to see whether they support the predictions
