Chapter 23, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The events that trigger the initial surge of nitrogen excretion must be determined.

Concept introduction:

Animals excrete various nitrogenous waste products from the body. The nitrogenous waste can be in the form of ammonia, uric acid, and urea. The availability of water in the body determines the mode of nitrogen excretion. In general, aquatic animals excrete ammonia, while terrestrial animals excrete uric acid and urea.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The reason for the fall of nitrogen excretion after several weeks of fasting should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Animals excrete various nitrogenous waste products from the body. The nitrogenous waste can be in the form of ammonia, uric acid, and urea. The availability of water in the body determines the mode of nitrogen excretion. In general, aquatic animals excrete ammonia, while terrestrial animals excrete uric acid and urea.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The reason for increase in nitrogen excretion after the depletion of lipid stores should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Animals excrete various nitrogenous waste products from the body. The nitrogenous waste can be in the form of ammonia, uric acid, and urea. The availability of water in the body determines the mode of nitrogen excretion. In general, aquatic animals excrete ammonia, while terrestrial animals excrete uric acid and urea.

9) Below, there is a representation of an SDS-PAGE gel. Assuming the samples in the MW standard have masses of: 66 kDa, 45 kDa, 36 kDa, 29 kDa, 24 kDa, 20.1 kDa, and 14.2 kDa, a) Figure 4: indicate where each of the measurements were taken and label as in II.6. figure 2 above. b) As in II.7. Table 1 above create Table 2 using the data below. Determine the r.f. values for the MW standards, plot the relative mobility versus the log of the mass for the standards, and use the best fit straight line to determine the molecular weights of the proteins in the whey, peak 1, and peak 2 lanes. (5 pts—this will be scaled up appropriately if your gel did not develop properly) dye MW Whey Peak 1 Peak 2
