A 26-year-old construction worker is brought to the emergency room with a change in mental status after working a 10-hour shift on a hot summer day (average outside temperature was 97°F). The man had been sweating profusely during the day but did not drink fluids. He has a fever of 102°F, heart rate of 140 beats/min, and blood pressure of 100/55 mm Hg in the supine position. On examination, he has no perspiration, appears to have dry mucous membranes, and is poorly oriented to person, place, and time. Assuming that his kidneys were normal yesterday, which of the following sets of hormone levels describes his condition, compared with normal?

There are three essential nod gene for every bacterial species that is−NodA, NodB and NodC, that are required for synthesizing this basic structure such as;

a) NodA is an N-acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of a fatty acyl chain

b) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links the acetyl group of the terminal nonreducing sugar

c) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide synthase that links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

d) NodB is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes the acetyl group from the terminal nonreducing sugar

e) NodC is a chitin-oligosaccharide deacetylase that removes links N-acetyl-D-glucosamine monomers

Which of the following statements about NOD Factor is incorrect?
