Answer:
The region of retina devoid of photoreceptor cells (rod cells and cone cells)
Explanation:
The retina is the layer of the eyeball and is packed with rod cells and cone cells responsible for night and day vision respectively. The blind spot is the region in the retina where no rod cells and cone cells are present.
Absence of these photoreceptor cells ensures that no vision is formed in this part of the retina. However, the blind spot serves as the site from where the optic nerve passes through the retina and serves to transmit the impulse to the brain.
Answer:
0.062 moles of hydrogen gas
Explanation:
We must first out down the reaction equation before we can attempt to solve the problem.
Mg(s) + 2HCl(aq) ----> MgCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Next we obtain the number of moles in 1.5 g of magnesium metal from;
Molar mass of magnesium = 24.3 gmol-1
Number of moles of magnesium= mass/molar mass = 1.5g/24.3gmol-1 = 0.062 moles
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of magnesium metal yields 1 mole of hydrogen gas
0.062 moles of magnesium metal will yield 0.062 moles of hydrogen gas
Therefore, reaction of 1.5g of magnesium metal with excess hydrochloric acid will yield 0.062 moles of hydrogen gas.
Answer:
The alcohol group will have produced the greatest volume of urine
The concentrated salt solution group will have produced the least volume of urine
Explanation:
Alcohol inhibits the antidiuretic hormone. This hormone, also known as vasopressin hormone, is released by changes in serum osmolarity or blood volume. Its function is to keep homeostasis and make kidneys conserve or keep water by concentrating urine and by reducing its volume. By these actions, the antidiuretic hormone stimulates water reabsorption, acording to the organism´s needs. The antidiuretic hormone is very sensitive to the presence of alcohol in the blood. Alcohol inhibits the hormone production and the kidneys eliminate more water than the necessary volume. In other words, alcohol is a diuretic substance that enhances urine production.
Salt ingestion causes an increase in plasmatic osmolarity, stimulates thirst and hence, water ingestion. It also causes an increase in the antidiuretic hormone, which anhances in water reabsorption by the kidneys in its collector tubules. Salt consumption causes a change in osmolarity, which drives to an increase in water reabsorption and an important reduction in urine volume.
Answer:
Option-E
Explanation:
Meta arteriole is a type of vessel present in the micro-circulatory pathway of the human body, which possesses characteristics of both the arteriole and the capillaries.
The structure of metarteriole usually connects the arteriole to the venules and they possess smooth muscle rings at the entrance of the vessel in the capillary and thus acts as a sphincter. This sphincter controls the flow of blood into the venules and capillaries.
The precapillary sphincters are usually closed but when the tissue needs the oxygen the sphincter opens and supplies the blood.
Thus, Option-E is correct.
