Concept explainers
(a)
To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of sodium ion tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF).
Introduction: The body fluid is divided into two compartments. The two body fluid compartments are ECF and ICF. ECF is the extracellular fluid, and ICF is the intracellular fluid.
(b)
To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of potassium ion tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) and the reason for this.
Introduction: Intracellular fluid is two-thirds of the total body fluid. The extracellular fluid is the buffer between the cells and the environment outside the body.
(c)
To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of water tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) and the reason for this.
Introduction: The body has two compartments: cells and the fluid that surrounds cells. The fluid compartment outside the cell is known as ECF, and the fluid compartment inside the cell is the intracellular fluid.
(d)
To determine: Whether knowing the plasma concentration of proteins tells about its concentration in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and intracellular fluid (ICF) and the reason for this.
Introduction: Plasma is the yellowish liquid matrix of the blood. Plasma carries water, salt, nad other material in the body. The main function of plasma is to transport hormones, nutrients, and proteins..

- You inject morpholino oligonucleotides that inhibit the translation of follistatin, chordin, and noggin (FCN) at the 1 cell stage of a frog embryo. What is the effect on neurulation in the resulting embryo?

Prompt: Using an online art style of your choice, please make a meme related to the study of Geography, Environment, or Geomatics.arrow_forwardPlekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forward
