Introduction:
The body fluids, electrolytes, and the acid-base homeostasis have an important role in the human body. These components help in the muscle tissue, nervous tissue, maintained by the respiratory system and involved in the digestive and urinary system of the body. Body fluids are the materials, which have water as their main component.
Answer to Problem 1CYR
Correct answer:
The amount of a variable that is gained by the body through ingestion equals the amount that is lost from the body.
Explanation of Solution
Justification/ Explanation for the correct answer:
Option (a) states that the amount of a variable that is gained by the body through ingestion equals the amount that is lost from the body. The principle of mass balance states that the amount gained and lost by the body must be equal. The principle of mass balance is followed by water in the human body. The principle depends upon multiple factors such as ingestion, physical activity, digestive activities, kidney functions, and medications. Hence, option (a) is correct.
Explanation for the incorrect answer:
Option (b) states that the body maintains a stable mass at all times. The principle of mass balance states that the amount of material gained by the body is equal to the amount of material lost by the body. The principle does not state that the body maintains a stable mass at all times. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (c) states that the amount of each variable brought into the body must be balanced by all other variables. The principle of mass balance states that the amount of variable gained by the body is equal to the amount of variable lost by the human body. The amount of each variable brought into the body cannot be balanced by all other variables. So, it is an incorrect option.
Option (d) states that the amount of a variable ingested is regulated by a positive feedback loop. The principle of mass balance does not state that the amount of variable ingested is regulated by a positive feedback loop. So, it is an incorrect option.
Hence, options (b), (c), and (d) are incorrect.
Therefore, it can be concluded the amount of a variable that is gained by the body through ingestion equals the amount that is lost from the body is the best description of the principle of mass balance. Water is the only body fluid, which follows this principle.

Steroids diffuse through membranes without transporters. Compare and contrast the remaining substances and circle the three substances that can diffuse through a membrane the fastest, without a transporter.

Affected individuals show spots of abnormal skin pigmentation and non-cancerous tumors that can interfere with the nervous system and cause blindness. Some tumors can convert to a cancerous form. i The recessive form is a normal protein - in other words, no neurofibromatosis.moovi A typical pedigree for a family that carries neurofibromatosis is shown below.

Aerobic respiration of one lipid molecule. The lipid is composed of one glycerol molecule connected to two fatty acid tails. One fatty acid is 12 carbons long and the other fatty acid is 18 carbons long in the figure below. Use the information below to determine how much ATP will be produced from the glycerol part of the lipid. Then, in part B, determine how much ATP is produced from the 2 fatty acids of the lipid. Finally put the NADH and ATP yields together from the glycerol and fatty acids (part A and B) to determine your total number of ATP produced per lipid. Assume no other carbon source is available. 18 carbons fatty acids 12 carbons 9 glycerol A. Glycerol is broken down to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a glycolysis intermediate via the following pathway shown in the figure below. Notice this process costs one ATP but generates one FADH2. Continue generating ATP with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate using the standard pathway and aerobic respiration. glycerol glycerol-3- phosphate…arrow_forward
