Answer:
Speech audiometry was performed on 15 children with secretory otitis media pre-and post-operatively and the findings compared with the pre-and post-operative pure tone audiograms. The results showed that in 30 per cent of cases pre-operatively the speech audiogram suggested a significantly worse hearing ability than that suggested by the pure tone audiogram (PTA). Where a PTA gives a borderline threshold disproportionate parental concern should be taken seriously as the hearing ability may well be worse than the PTA suggests.
adaptations of a muscle cell to its functions
Answer:
Many cells are specialised. They have structures that are adapted for their function. For example, muscle cells bring parts of the body closer together. They contain protein fibres that can contract when energy is available, making the cells shorter.
5) Select True or False. If False, select the statement that makes it True. A piece of plastic is not a mineral because it is made in a factory and is not found naturally in the Earth. True False; A piece of plastic is a mineral because it is inorganic. False; A piece of plastic is a mineral because it is made in a factory and is not found naturally in the Earth False; A piece of plastic is a mineral because it is a mixture.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The answer is true because Plastic is not a mineral. It is a solid and it has a definite chemical composition. Plastic is made from oil (an organic material) and it is made by humans - plastic is not a naturally occurring substance.

In an effort to maintain homeostasis, the organ systems of the human body work to keep the body's internal water level constant. Which of the following statements describe how the human body responds when its internal water level drops too low?
(I’ll give brainliest)
A. The skeletal system produces more circulating blood cells that insecure the body’s water intake
B. The excretory system signals the kidneys to retain more water and produce more concentrated urine to decrease water loss.
C. The nervous system signals the muscles to constrict , holding more water in the digestive track and decreasing water loss .
D.The excretory system signals the kidneys to release more water into the bladder to increase water loss .
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
When we are dehydrated, our urine tends to be more yellow, right? That's because our urine contained less water to dilute the chemical compounds causing the yellow color — when we're dehydrated, our kidneys decide to pull less water out of the bloodstream than normal.
How are Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration Cycles connected?
1)The products of one cycle become the reactants of the other.
2)The sun provides energy for both photosynthesis and respiration.

Match each immune cell with the method it uses to neutralize a pathogenic microbe that has infected a human - Cytotoxic T cell - Helper T cell - B cell - Natural Killer Cell - Macrophage - Mast Cell A. kills infected human cells after recognizing antigens displayed on MHC class 1 B. does not directly kill microbes; after recognition of a specific antigen displayed on MHC Class 2, it secretes molecules that help other cells to do so. C. phagocytoses microbes after recognizing specific antigens; secretes antibodies D. kills virus-infected human cells by releasing perforin and granzymes. E. Phagocytoses microbes after recognizing PAMPs; acts as an Antigen Presenting Cell to activate another type of immune cell F. Does not directly kill microbes; secretes histamine to initiate an inflammatory response.
Answer:
Cytotoxic T cell - kills infected human cells after recognizing antigens displayed on MHC class 1 B.
Helper T cell - does not directly kill microbes; after recognition of a specific antigen displayed on MHC Class 2, it secretes molecules that help other cells to do so.
B cell - phagocytoses microbes after recognizing specific antigens; secretes antibodies
Natural Killer Cell - kills virus-infected human cells by releasing perforin and granzymes.
Macrophage - Phagocytoses microbes after recognizing PAMPs; acts as an Antigen Presenting Cell to activate another type of immune cell
Mast Cell - Does not directly kill microbes; secretes histamine to initiate an inflammatory response.
Explanation:
T cell are immune-response cells that originate in the bone marrow but migrate and develop in the thymus gland. They are of two classes; Cytotoxic T cells and Helper T cells.
Cytotoxic T cell - kills infected human cells after recognizing antigens displayed on MHC (Major histocompatibility complex) class 1 B.
Helper T cell - does not directly kill microbes; after recognition of a specific antigen displayed on MHC Class 2, it secretes molecules that help other cells to do so.
B cells are formed and develop in the bone marrow. They make antibodies against antigens, and phagocytoses microbes after recognizing specific antigen.
Natural Killer Cells are cytotoxic lymphocytes of the innate immune system. They kill virus-infected human cells by releasing perforin and granzymes.
Macrophages are a type of white blood cells that detects and phagocytoses microbes after recognizing PAMPs (Pathogen-associated molecular pattern) They also act as Antigen Presenting Cell (APCs) to activate another type of immune cell
Mast Cells are cells found in the connctive and they function as part of the immune system of the body. They do not directly kill microbes. They secrete histamine to initiate an inflammatory response.

What causes low pressure? What causes high pressure?
Answer:
What causes low blood pressure?
Common causes of low blood pressure include a reduced volume of blood, heart disease, and medications. The cause of low blood pressure can be determined with blood tests, radiologic studies, and cardiac testing to look for heart failure and arrhythmias
Explanation:
What triggers high blood pressure?
Common factors that can lead to high blood pressure include: A diet high in salt, fat , and/or cholesterol . Chronic conditions such as kidney and hormone problems, diabetes, and high cholesterol. Family history, especially if your parents or other close relatives have high blood pressure
The diagram below shows a stack of rock layers. These layers have not changed position since they formed. Examine the diagram and answer the question that follows. If the age of Layer 4 is 400 million years and the age of Layer 1 is 500 million years, then the age of Layer 3 is A. older than 500 million years. B. between 400 million and 500 million years. C. 500 million years. D. younger than 400 million years.
Answer:
B. between 400 million and 500 million years
Explanation:
Process of elimination
Answer: Answer is B, Younger than 400 million years
Explanation:
The age of rock layers in a stack reflects the order in which they were deposited—the lower layers were laid down first, and then the upper layers were laid on top of them. So, the lower layers and fossils they contain are older than the upper layers and fossils. This is known as the principle of superposition.
In this example, Layer 1 was deposited first, then Layer 2, Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 5. Layer 1 is the oldest, and the layers get younger as you move up through the stack.
If the age of a particular layer is known, then the relative age of other layers can be determined. In this example, Layer 4 is 400 million years old. This means that the layer above it is younger than 400 million years and the layers below it are older than 400 million years. Layer 1 is 500 million years old. This means that layers above it are younger than 500 million years.
Layer 5 is above Layer 4, so it must be younger than 400 million years.
Which one of these does not add CO2 to the atmosphere?
Answer:
Planting trees, CARBON CYCLE, and cooking with gas do not add Carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
Explanation:
The atmosphere naturally breathes or decomposes carbon dioxide rocks, whereas forest fire takes place and volcanoes erupt.
The atmosphere is naturally decomposed. Human activities like fossil fuel and forest burning, and cement production, also add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.
what describes skeletal muscles
"Skeletal muscle, also called voluntary muscle, in vertebrates, most common of the three types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Similar to cardiac muscle, however, skeletal muscle is striated; its long, thin, multinucleated fibres are crossed with a regular pattern of fine red and white lines, giving the muscle a distinctive appearance. Skeletal muscle fibres are bound together by connective tissue and communicate with nerves and blood vessels."

Lab: Interdependence of Organisms
Interdependence Of Organisms
Question Being Answered:
How can the presence of one species benefit another in the same ecosystem?
Hypothesis:
If plants grow in soil that contains worms the plants growth will be greater because worms are able to help decompose organic matter and help distribute it through the soil in a form plants are able to use.
Process Of Lab:
In this lab you will grow two different groups of plants. Group A is considered the experimental group which will grow in soil with worms, Group B is considered the control group which will grow in soil without worms. After the plants grow you have to measure the plant growth for both groups and compare them.
Independent & Dependent
Independent Variable: Presence Of Worms
Dependent Variable: Plant Growth
Safety Procedure
Be sure to follow the safety procedure which means to
Wear safety goggles and lab gown while doing the experiment
Keep lab behavior purposeful
Look over the soil contents and make sure to follow warnings provided on any equipment
Wash hands and lab equipment once done with experiment
Treat living organisms with respect and provide proper care
Report any accidents that happen in the lab to your teacher
Lab Procedure
Step 1: Gather Materials
Two trays that are 10 cm 4’ deep
Potting soil
Lima bean seeds which need to be soaked overnight
Location with sunlight or growth lights
Worms
Graduated cylinder
Water
Black marker
Ruler with metric markings
Step 2: Prepare Two Trays Of Lima Bean Plants
Label the trays Control Group and Experimental Group
Add approximately 6-7 cm of soil to each tray
Plant 6 lima bean seeds in each tray being 2 cm deep and label the plants 1-6
Step 3: Give The Plants Water And Light During Sprouting Time
Keep the environments for both groups identical
Water all the plants following the watering schedule that was recommended on the seed packaging
Use the graduated cylinder to ensure the same amount of water is being given to both groups
Make sure all plants get the same amount of light
Step 4: Measure The Heights Of The Plants At The End Of Week 1
Measure the height of all twelve plants to the nearest cm. If a plant dies mark an x on the data table for that plant and write it in your notes
Use a calculator to find the average heights of the living plants in each groups
Calculate the difference in those average heights by subtracting the average height of the plants in the control group. Use this difference as a basis for comparison
Record measurement observations in your notes and the health of the plants such as leaf colors and size, wilting, unusual growth, brown spots, and any other marks you see
Step 5: Add Six Worms To The Soil Of The Experimental Group Of Plants
Write descriptive notes about the condition of the worms in your notes
Step 6: Measure The Heights Of The Plants At The End Of The Week 3
Repeat step 4
Step 7: Measure The Heights Of The Plants At The End Of Week 5
Repeat step 4
Step 8: Check The Health Of The Worms At The End Of The Study
Are the worms still alive?
Do they all seem healthy?
Have they changed in any way? If so list the ways changed
Are there any new worms
Be sure to write descriptive notes about their conditions in your notes
Step 9: Dispose Of All Material According To The Directions From Your Teacher

River dolphins are morphologically distinct from other dolphins and are primarily restricted to freshwater ecosystems in Asia and South America.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
a. True
Explanation:
The river dolphin is a group of aquatic animals that is specially adapted to the fresh water and are relatively smaller compared to the other dolphins. They have evolved to survive in shallow waters and strong-river currents. These dolphins are not very widely disturbed and are found in certain deltas and rivers.if you dilute a 20.0 mL of a 3.5M solution to make 90.0 mL solution what is the molality of the dilute solution?
Given:
unknown:
show work:
Answer:
Molality of the diluted sample is 0.778 M
Explanation:
Given -
Molality of the original solution = 3.5 M
Volume of the original solution = 20 mL
Volume of the diluted solution = 90 mL
Molality of the diluted sample = X
As we know
Molality of the original solution * Volume of the original solution = Volume of the diluted solution * Molality of the diluted sample
Substituting the given values, we get -
[tex]3.5 * 20 = 90 * X\\X = 0.778[/tex]M
Molality of the diluted sample is 0.778 M

In genetics, what does a genotype of Hh signify?
Answer:
In genetics, Hh means a heterozygote.
Explanation:
Usually, in genetics, H would be the dominant, and h would be the recessive trait. HH is usually dominant, and hh would be recessive. So, Hh would mean a heterozygote. In a heterozygote, this would mean that the recessive trait is in the genotype, but the dominant trait would still take over. This also means that sometimes, the recessive trait can be shown along with the dominant. This can be possible through co-dominance, and incomplete dominance. Hope this helps!
Answer:
CORRECT (SELECTED)
Heterozygous; one dominant allele and one recessive allele
Explanation:
A heterozygous individual (Hh), also known as a carrier, has a genotype with one dominant allele (H) and one recessive allele (h).
