Step 1
Introduction:
Amino acids make up the macromolecule known as protein. Proteins are essential for many biological functions, including cell communication, metabolic control, and structural support. Additionally, they play a role in the catalysis of enzymes and the contraction of muscles and antibodies. A protein's distinctive three-dimensional shape and function are determined by the amino acid sequence in the protein.

- 2. Breathing, or ventilation, is a cyclic process consisting of two stages, inspiration and expiration. Air only moves when there is a pressure gradient, moving from high pressure to low pressure. To ventilate, we must create pressure gradients that drive air through our airways into or out of our lungs. We need to change the air pressure in our alveoli. We achieve this using the principle described in Boyle's Law. Boyle's Law states that when temperature is held constant, pressure is inversely related to volume chamber increases, air pressure in that chamber decreases, and vice versa. By changing the size (volume) of the thoracic cage, we change pressure in our alveoli. To inhale, we must make our thoracic cage larger. To exhale, we must make our thoracic cage smaller.

- 1. Salmon are anadromous fish and must deal with osmotic changes in their environment in extreme ways. Researchers have found that Na*/K* - ATPase is found in two different kinds of cells in the gill tissue. One type is found in the filament bases that appear to be active when salmon are adults only. The other types of cells are found in the lamellae folds and appear to be active during its juvenile stages. Speculate on these findings as to how this allows salmon to complete their unique life cycle. 2. Furosemide is a diuretic, causing increased urine production. Its mechanism inhibits a Na-K-2Cl symporter in the thick portion of the ascending loop of Henle. Explain how this drug causes increased urine production? 3.
