A wild guess: Maybe there's not much space for all that HCO3- in the RBC, its m.wt. being 61 and for Cl- it is 35 ? A better guess I think would be the altered pH of the RBC cytosol due to HCO3- accumulating in it causes it to become more basic? Maybe the HCO3- may try to displace the H+ from...

I read in Harper's Illustrated Biochemistry, that since fruits have fructose and fructose isn't all that well regulated as glucose metabolism they can make you overweight! Are there any studies that prove/disprove these? For example, fructose can be metabolised without regulation and form...

In my physiology examination, I came across this question: Find the Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), when Urine Concentration of Urea (U) = 70 (I don't remember the exact values, but it is of no importance), Urine flow rate (V) = 1ml/min Blood level of Urea = 20 ( or something) In...

All insurance ads have this line "Insurance is a subject mater of solicitation". What do they mean?

Lesser of trigonometry and calculus Branch which has less trig and calculus? I'm afraid of those two, coz they(in my school, in India) give u an equation and for no apparent reason u multiply by something, divide by something, separate the term into two, and viola u get the answer. Its too...
