<span>Cocaine Preparations
-Coca leaves --> Coca Paste (60% pure): Not water soluble, so you can't inject it into the bloodstream -- you need an additional chemical step to turn the paste into crystal powder that can be injected or snorted
-Coca --> Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure): Doesn't hold up very well to heat, so you can't smoke cocaine hydrochloride
-Cocaine Hydrochloride (99% pure) --> Free-Base Cocaine or Crack Cocaine:
-Reconvert cocaine hydrochloride back to base state by removing hydrochloride from cocaine (that's why it's called free-base cocaine)
-Crack cocaine is a crystallized form, mixture of cocaine and baking soda
-75% pure
-Can be used at lower doses and is much cheaper than cocaine
-Can be smoked</span>
Answer:
C. Cholesterol
Explanation:
Cholesterol maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane and thereby, regulates its function.
Bile acids are derived from cholesterol which serves as their precursor. For example, Taurocholic acid is a polar derivative of cholesterol. Bile acids serve in the absorption of fatty acids, glycerol, and fat-soluble vitamins as these compounds are non-polar in nature.
Vitamin D is produced when the derivative of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol undergoes photolysis in skin cells in presence of sunlight.
He or she is said to be in a positive
nitrogen balance state.
Nitrogen balance is the
traditional method of determining dietary protein requirements. Determining
dietary protein requirements using nitrogen balance requires that all nitrogen
inputs and losses are carefully collected, to ensure that all nitrogen exchange
is accounted for. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of
growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. This means that the
intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the
body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.
