The EKG is hooked up, and Mr. M's trace looks very abnormal. His heart rate is low. The T wave, which indicates repolarization of the ventricles, is unusually large and pointed and the QRS wave, which indicates the depolarization impulse’s passage through the ventricles, is widened or slowed. "That's a classic EKG for hyperkalemia (high blood potassium)!" The doctor gives Mr. M an injection of calcium gluconate. Calcium ions block the Na+ channels on nerve and muscle cells. How will this help counteract the effects of high blood K+? g

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are: Mr. M's cells are depolarizing too easily. Blocking Nat channels will make it harder for them to depolarize, bringing their sensitivity back to normal O Mr. M has too little K* leaving his cells, so we need to block the Nat channels so the Kt channels can stay open and his cells can repolarize properly. Mr. M has too little K* leaving his cells, so we need to block the Nat channels so the Na /K+ ATPase can move Kt out of the cell effectively O Blocking Na* channels cannot help- it will only make his cells fire less, and he already has a weak heartbeat. Mr. M's cells are not repolarizing properly. Blocking Nat channels will help them repolarize normally, bringing their resting potential back to normal.

The correct answer is ''Mr. M's cells are depolarizing too easily. Blocking Na+ channels will make it harder for them to depolarize, bringing their sensitivity back to normal.''

Explanation:

Calcium administration is an emerging treatment modality aimed at restoring the transmembrane electrical gradient of cardiac myocytes. It probably achieves this goal by reducing the resting membrane potential of cells. Calcium antagonizes the effect of hyperkalemia on cardiac conduction, that is, it antagonizes the effects of K on the heart. Its onset of action is immediate, in a few minutes. Calcium gluconate antagonizes the excitability of the cardiac membrane, that is, it decreases the excitability of the membrane and it does not affect serum levels, it is generally accepted that calcium should be administered when there are ECG changes associated with hyperkalemia.

Describe at least three large - scale detrimental consequences of rising temperatures

Answers

Answer:

En primer lugar hay que decir que en contra de lo que puedan pensar muchas personas, el aumento de las temperaturas es una realidad. De hecho, no hay más que ver algunos datos comparativos para darse cuenta, por ejemplo, de que la temperatura de los polos ha aumentado considerablemente en el último siglo.

En primer lugar y por encima de todo tenemos que tener muy claro que el hábitat está cambiando de una manera abismal por lo que la vida del ser humano en La Tierra cada vez es más complicada. Si a esto le unimos el hecho de que nosotros no somos el único ser vivo cuya vida se complica, podemos concluir que muchas especies no serán capaces de adaptarse a estos cambios por lo que morirán. Un cambio que se puede llevar consigo gran parte de las cosechas que existen a día de hoy.

 

Una serie de consecuencias que lejos de ser catastróficas son más que plausibles. Es cierto que del mismo modo que esta situación se puede dar, no es menos cierto que todavía hay opciones de revertir la situación. La pregunta, sin embargo, es saber si el ser humano está dispuesto a ello.

(3) Guard cells change the size of leaf openings, regulating the exchange of gases.
(4) Guard cells release oxygen from the leaf at night.
Antibody molecules and receptor molecules

Answers

Answer:

The first one is your answer

Chloroplasts take in more nitrogen, which increases the rate of photosynthesis illustrates feedback mechanisms in plants.

feedback mechanism is a form of system regulation that occur in living organs which help to return or restore the body to it's original normal internal condition for sustainability of living. It is also called homeostasis.

Chloroplasts take in more nitrogen, which increases the rate of photosynthesis illustrates feedback mechanisms in plants because nitrogen helps to increase the concentration of chlorophyll which is the green pigment house in chloroplast that aid the increase of photosynthesis rate in plants.

Therefore,Chloroplasts take in more nitrogen, which increases the rate of photosynthesis illustrates feedback mechanisms in plants.

Understanding Dose vs Exposure
John works applying pesticide X to agricultural fields. He spent the morning cleaning out a tank that had contained concentrated pesticide X. The tank was large and he was standing in water all morning (4 hours) power washing the tank. Human skin is a wonderful barrier to entry of compounds as long as it is dry and intact, but wet wrinkly skin can absorb toxins. About 5% of pesticide X absorbs into wet skin and John was in contact with water that had a total of 32 g of the pesticide in it.
After the morning is over, John has lunch but does not wash his hands; he has 2 g of the pesticide on his hands. Pesticide X has about 90% absorption from an oral dose.
Finally, John works in the field in the afternoon a crop plane flies over dusting the crops with pesticide X, the air he breathes in has a total of 5 grams of the compound in it. Pesticide X is known to have absorption of about 50% through inhalation.
What is John’s exposure to Pesticide X and what is his dose?
Route of Exposure Exposure (grams) Dose (grams)
Dermal
Oral
Inhalation
Total
Looking at the total exposure and dose, what percentage of his exposure was a dose?

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 15.13%

Explanation:

According to the question, the exposure of the pesticide X to the skin of John is by different routes and amount of the exposure is given and the percentage value is calculated as well:

Route of exposure --- exposure in gram---Dose in gram

Dermal ------------------------32-----------------------32*5/100= 1.6

Oral------------------------------2-----------------------2*90/100= 1.8

Inhalation----------------------5-----------------------5*50/100= 2.5

Total --- -----------------------39 -----------------------5.9

On the basis of this, the exposure is mainly by inhalation, the total exposure is about 39 grams about 5.9 percent. However,

The percentage of dose exposure = (5.9/39)*100

= 15.13%

Based on the information given above, which of the following models best represents the relationship between zooplankton , minnows, and largemouth bass in a freshwater ecosystem?
Chose the correct image to answer the question above. NEED THIS FAST

Answers

Answer:

Option C: Minnows have a direct negative effect (⇒(-)) on the population size of zooplankton. Basses have a negative effect (⇒(-)) on the population size of minnows. Basses have an indirect positive  (---> (+)) effect on zooplankton.

Explanation:

In the trophic web occurs a process of energy transference through different organisms that places at different levels. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is an autotroph organism or producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.

If any of the links change their population size (increasing it or decreasing it), it affects the superior links and the immediately anterior link.

In the exposed example, zooplankton, minnows, and basses are continuously interacting.

Minnow →(-) Zooplankton

Minnows feed on zooplankton. So they affect direct and negatively the invertebrate population. The more minnows there are, the more zooplankton they eat. So, as long as the minnows population keeps growing, the zooplankton population will be more affected because they will not have enough time to reproduce and recover from predation.

Bass →(-) Minnows

Bass feed on minnows, so they also affect direct and negatively the fish population. And the more the bass population grows in size, the more affected the minnows will be because many more basses will be eating them.

Bass ---->(+) Zooplankton

On the other hand, by negatively affecting the minnows population, basses will be indirectly and positively influencing the zooplankton population. This fact is because the more minnows basses eat, the fewer fishes there will be to prey on zooplankton. So the invertebrate will have enough time to recover its population size. The predation pressure acting on zooplankton will decrease thanks to the action of basses preying on minnows.

Here there is a natural equilibrium between the three species. It is a representation of typical cycle predator-prey.

Minnows prey on zooplankton. Minnows population grows, and the zooplankton population decreases.As the minnow population grows, there is more available food for basses, who eat more minnows. As the bass population increases, the minnows population decreases in size. And as there are fewer minnows, the zooplankton population will increase. If minnows decrease in number, basses will decrease in number too. Minnows will not be severely affected by basses, so their population increases again. As zooplankton also increased, there will be more available food for minnows that will keep reproducing. And the more minnows there are, the more available food for basses there will be. And basses population will increase again. So you can see that zooplankton is indirectly and positively affecting the basses population too (not shown in images).

A fiber reinforced composite contains e-glass fibers in an epoxy matrix. E for the glass is 72 GPa, E for the epoxy is 2.4 GPa. Find the elastic modulus of a composite that contains 5% fibers in the longitudinal direction, Ecl

Answers

Answer: hello your question is in complete  below is the complete question

A fiber reinforced composite contains e-glass fibers in an epoxy matrix. E for the glass is 72 GPA, E for the epoxy is 2.4 GPa. Find the elastic modulus of a composite that contains 5% fibers in the longitudinal direction, Ecl = ViEi + EmVm? (note Vi + Vm= 1.) O 5.88 GPa O 5.66 GPa O 2.52 GPa O 6.74 GPa

answer : 5.88 GPa

Explanation:

Fiber reinforced composite containing e-glass fibers

E for the glass ( Ei ) = 72 GPa

E for the epoxy ( Em ) = 2.4 GPa

Determine the Elastic modulus of a composite containing 5% fibers

percentage of glass = 5% = Vi = 0.05

∴ percentage of epoxy = 95% ; Vm = 0.95

using the relation included in the question

Ecl = Ei Vi + Em Vm

    = ( 72 * 0.05 ) + ( 2.4 * 0.95 )

    =  3.6 + 2.28  = 5.88 GPa

Explanation:

The role the ultrafine particles play in dirty air is that they can worsen symptoms for people with breathing difficulties. The correct answer is b).

What are ultrafine particles?

The term "ultrafine particles" (UFPs) refers to particles with a dimension of less than micrometers and more than 0.1 micrometres (100 nanometers), also known as nanoscale particles. The majority of the ultrafine particles are found on motorways and are mostly produced by vehicle emissions.  

It has been demonstrated that ultrafine pollution particles may play a crucial role in igniting extra pathways or inflammation, which worsens asthma disease. The ultrafine particles released by motor vehicles and other sources of combustion are covered with an organic chemical coating that can be inhaled.

By oxidizing cells and tissues, these substances create free oxygen radicals that activate the immune system in the lung. For those who have asthma, oxidation exacerbates the allergic inflammation in their lungs.  

Therefore the correct option is b).
