a. amount of particles such as minerals and proteins
b. amount of water
c. amount of elements such as hydrogen and oxygen
d. all of the above
2. There is a fertilizer used in pastures that has a chemical that affects the mesoderm. What important system in the body would be affected if a pregnant female gets exposed to this drug during the first phase of gesetation?
a. nervous system
b. reproductive system
c. digestive system
d. endocrine system
Answer- 1
D- all of the above .
Osmotic pressure is due to presence of salt or ion or substance present in water.
It is pressure difference needed to stop the flow of fluid from heigh concentration to low concentration of molecules.
So the osmotic pressure causes water to move in the solutions having higher concentration.
Answer-2
B reproductive system
Explanation- the chemical present in the fertilizer affects the mesoderm.
So the organs derived from the mesoderm will be affected,If the pregnant female is exposed to the chemical in first term
The first trimester is the most crucial period for the development of the baby.teratogenic effects of drugs are most commonly seen if administered in first trimester.
The organs derived from the mesoderm includes the smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, connective tissue, endocrine glands,uterus,fellopian tube, testicles and many more
