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.

Why is soil erosion important to agriculture?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Soil erosion causes siltation in rivers, dams, etc. In some areas, huge river deltas are formed (such as River Nile delta) because of soil erosion. Such places are good for agriculture but not good for urbanization. However, some people do not care about it, they just want to construct buildings on alluvium type soils.

melamori03 [73]

Acid-fast bacteria or acid-fast bacilli can be defined as the group of bacteria that have the ability to resist their decolonization by the acids which are used during the staining process.

An infection that is caused due to an acid-fast organism indicates that the individual is suffering from Tuberculosis or other myobacterial diseases.

An acid-fast bacteria has many protective and invasive techniques which makes the infection difficult to treat, and thus, long-term course of antibiotics is needed for the treatment of such infections.
