<span>The primary desired therapeutic effect of mannitol is the reduction of intracranial pressure. This pressure, most likely caused by swelling on the brain, is generally caused by head traumas and can be life threatening. The administration of mannitol reduces this swelling thus decreasing the cranial pressure.</span>
Answer:
Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of first isotope = 21 amu
Abundance of first isotope = 62%
Mass of second isotope = 22 amu
Abundance of second isotope = 38%
Average atomic mass = ?
Solution:
Average atomic mass = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass) / 100
Average atomic mass = (62×21)+(38×22) /100
Average atomic mass = 1302 +836 / 100
Average atomic mass = 2138 / 100
Average atomic mass = 21.38 amu.
Answer:
Lysosomes.
Explanation:
HEXA (Hexosaminidase A) is the functional enzyme and encoded by the HEXA gene. The main function of this enzyme is the hydroxylation of the gangliosides.
The mutation in this gene leads to the lysosomal storage disease. The GM2 starts accumulating in the lysosomes and causes Tay Sach's disease. This is a genetic disorder that leads to the breakdown of the cells of the spinal cord and the brain.
Thus, the answer is lysosomes.
Answer:
When a leaf is placed in a solution whose salt concentration is higher than the salt concentration of the leaves, the water with in the leaves shall move out of the leaves due to the osmotic pressure gradient. This will cause the plant cell devoid of water thereby leading them to shrink and wilt.
