Aquaporins exclude passage of hydronium ions (H30+). But recent research has revealed a role for some aquaporins in fat metabolism, in which they allow passage of glycerol, a three-carbon alcohol (see Figure 5.11), as well as H20. Since H30+ is much closer in size to water than is glycerol, what do y

There is a great deal of folklore about the effects of the full moon on humans and other animals. Do animals bite humans more during a full moon? In an attempt to study this question, Bhattacharjee et al. (2000) collected data on admissions to a medical facility for treatment of bites by animals: cat
