Q: Why does the body react to a loss of chloride ions? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Chloride ions are important in neutralizing positive ion charges in the body. If chloride is lost, the body uses bicarbonate ions in place of the lost chloride ions. Thus, lost chloride results in an increased reabsorption of bicarbonate by the renal system. Choices: - increased tricarbonate reabsorption - decreased bicarbonate reabsorption - decreased tricarbonate reabsorption - increased bicarbonate reabsorption A:
increased bicarbonate reabsorption

Q: Partial albinism results from a mutation in an enzyme that is involved in the production of what? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: The pointed pattern is a form of partial albinism, which results from a mutation in an enzyme that is involved in melanin production. The mutated enzyme is heat-sensitive; it fails to work at normal body temperatures. However, it is active in cooler areas of the skin. This results in dark coloration in the coolest parts of the cat's body, such as the lower limbs and the face, as shown in Figure above . The cat's face is cooled by the passage of air through the nose. Generally adult Siamese cats living in warm climates have lighter coats than those in cooler climates. Choices: - cytoplasm - hair - cancer - melanin A:
melanin
