A number of marine reptiles and birds have salt glands, which have a remarkable ability to concentrate salt solutions for excret
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

A)100mL  B)50mL  C)The second option  D)Hypoosmotic Environment

Explanation:

The average Na concentration in the seas and oceans of the world is around 3,5% which mean that in 100 ml of sea water, there is around 3,5 grams of Na.

The weight of one mol of NaCl is 58,44 grams. For 3,5 grams of NaCl, we get 3,5/58,44 = 0,060 mol of NaCl which is 0,060x1000 = 60 mmol/100ml. According to this and the information given in the question about the secretion of the salt glands', if the average sodium concentration is 600mmol/L, we have 60*10 = 600mmol/L so it would take 100 mililiters of water to excrete.

If the average Na concentration of the salt gland's secretion were 300 mmol/L, only 50 mililiters of water would be needed to excrete the same sodium load.

The second option of secretion is hyperosmotic to seawater because the concentration is higher.

Osmoregulation is the process of balancing the amount of water and salt between the body of the organism and its surrounding environment. For salt glands to be advantageous for osmoregulation, they need to be in a hypoosmotic environment.

I hope this answer helps.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and other vasodilators are used in the early treatment of heart failure. They act
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Option c. cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart

Explanation:

The ACE inhibitors increases the diameter of the blood vessels (vasodilation) that improves the flow of blood. This reduces the work load on the heart. At the time of heart failure, a substance called angiotensin is released. This angiotensin formation is blocked by the ACE inhibitors. Angiotensin is involved in narrowing the blood vessels.

The ACE cause pooling of the blood and decreased venous return to the heart. The ACE inhibitors causes vasodilation that allows decrease in blood pressure. So, there is no increase in arterial pressure, aldosterone and loss of volume. Thus, option C is correct.

What kind of viral replication cycle will most likely damaged host cells immediately
Verizon [17]

Viral replication involves six steps: attachment, penetration, uncoating, replication, assembly, and release. During attachment and penetration, the virus attaches itself to a host cell and injects its genetic material into it.


toxic enzymes that damage the host cell that are coded for in the viral genome

secretion of chemicals from the virus to the membrane of the host cell

replication of the viral genetic material within the host

lysis of the host to release new viruses

integrating into the host cell chromosomes

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with location of gene expression.

Explanation:

A regulatory sequence refers to a section of a molecule of nucleic acid that possesses the tendency of declining or upsurging the expression of particular genes within an organism. The regulation of gene expression is an important characteristic of all living species and viruses.  

In the given case, it is essential to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when developing a recombinant gene as a regulatory sequence monitors the location of gene expression.
