Skin is the first line of defense mechanism of our immune system. It acts as a barrier for pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms. However, skin itself has a microbiota that does not allow other microorganisms to invade or colonize. Any wound, cut or change in the pH of skin due to environmental conditions or any disease might lead to the entry of the opportunistic microorganisms inside the skin. This leads to several skin disorders such as dermatitis, eczema, cellulitis, warts, etc. Thus, it is extremely important to keep the skin hydrated and healthy to avoid any kind of microbial invasion.
Answer:
Reduced reabsorption of salts and nutrients from the proximal tubule.
Explanation:
The proximal convoluted tubules are the site for reabsorption of the largest amount of solute and water from the filtered fluid. It reabsorbs 65% of water, electrolytes such as Na+ and K+, almost 100% of the filtered glucose and amino acids and other electrolytes such as Ca2+, Mg2+, etc.
The simple cuboidal epithelial cells of the proximal convoluted tubule have a prominent brush border of microvilli on their apical surface. These microvilli serve to increase the surface area for reabsorption and secretion. Destruction of these microvilli would reduce the reabsorption of the above-mentioned salts and nutrients from proximal convoluted tubules.
The fundus is the portion of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Answer: <u>Guanine
</u>
According to Chargaff's rule, the base pairing in the DNA and RNA is fixed. Adenine always pairs with Thymine in DNA and Uracil in RNA. Guanine pairs up with cytosine. This complementary base pairing is universal and constant. That's why amounts are also equal. It means if cytosine is 20% in any DNA sample, then amount of guanine would be 20% as well.
