Results from our forumDNA and Protein Synthesis... of a cell, explain briefly how it and the nucleus control most of the cells activity like growth, repair, cellular respiration, secretion, and excretion. ^ The mRNA carries the genetic information of the DNA to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm and tells them what to do. It makes protein and functions ...

What about breastfeeding and weak bases... than in plasma. Conversely, drugs that are weak acids will be present in breast milk at a much lower concentration than in the plasma. To increase excretion: change the urinary pH to favor the charged form of the drug: Weak acids: excreted faster in alkaline pH (anion form favored) Weak bases: ...

Entropy, potential energy and energy transductionI think since it's a biochem course you should be discussion the relevant chemicals involved in the activities etc e.g. excretion : Potential energy : ATP in the body is required to power the excretion machinery. A good example would be the nephrons and kidneys especially the osmolarity ...
