Answer:

The water is hypotonic to the body of the patients

Explanation:

<em>Pure water is generally hypotonic to the red blood cells in the body of humans. Hence, if a person is hooked up to an IV line that included pure water, the red blood cells in the person's body will take-in water, become turgid, and then start lysing. This will make the person become sick or even cause death in severe cases.</em>

Answer:

Incomplete dominance can be described as a phenomenon in which the dominant trait is not completely dominant over the recessive trait. Incomplete dominance can be determined when the dominant and the recessive trait merge to form a third type of trait. A new phenotype arises due to such a cross.

For example, when a black-feathered chicken is crossed with a white chicken and their alleles shown incomplete dominance, then offsprings having blue feathers can be seen.

Considering the ATP cycle, which of the following would have the most potential energy to perform work for cell activities? A. A
Mumz [18]

Answer:

ATP

Explanation:

We are well aware of the fact that ATP is considered to be the energy currency of the cell. If we talk about cell activities it needs an energy input. No doubt that H+ ions play an important role in electron transport chain step of the production of ATP, but the ultimate product which is used by the cell is ATP.

AMP and ADP are also energy sources but they contain less amount of energy as compared to ADP because in ATP there are three phosphate bonds and each bond upon breakage releases almost 7.3 kj/mol of energy. So it definitely will be more in ATP as compared to ADP and AMP.
