Explain the process of making a selenoprotein. Include the major steps and discuss how this process is different from "regular" proteins. Be clear with your description of this process with as much detail as you can remember. 2.

Discuss what happens when there is a decrease in extracellular fluid (for example, someone has been sweating heavily). Explain how this would affect blood pressure and how the body would respond (what processes are activated? what happens?) Describe how blood pressure would be normalized.  4. Describe the visual cycle (Be sure to include what compounds are needed, what happens, where, etc.) Then describe how a vitamin A deficiency affects this cycle.
