<h2>C) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

  • Glomerular filtration is the process which kidneys uses to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so that they may be eliminated from the body
  • The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
  • The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus, this is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
  • The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure

Sally comes to the medical setting stating she has heartburn on a daily basis. She states that she has also been constipated.
swat32

Answer:

Magnesium hydroxide  Mg(OH)₂ is the formula for the antacid. Commonly known as milk of magnesia.

This antacid should be taken at bed time or one hour after meal. Once a day.

The routine medication should have at-least one hour gap with the antacid.

If sally develops diarrhea then the antacid should be discontinued.

Lifestyle changes that could help Sally's bowel and gastric conditions are:

  • High fiber diet.
  • Increased Water intake.
  • Regular exercise.
  • Less spicy died.
  • Taking meals at-least 3 hours before bed time.
  • Wearing loose fitting comfortable clothes.

Explanation:

  • following the symptoms it is assumable that Sally is suffering from GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) which has resulted in constipation.
  • GERD is a condition when the stomach acid of a person moves into the esophagus due to incomplete closure of the lower esophageal sphincter .
  • Reflux of the stomach acid results in heart burn.
  • The best way to relieve this condition is to take an antacid having a bicarbonate, or hydroxide formula which will react with the stomach acid and neutralize it or a proton pump inhibitor which would check the production of stomach acids.
  • In Sally's case GERD is accompanied with constipation so she needs a antacid as well as laxative which will ease the bowel movement.
  • A proton pump inhibitor will not be a good choice because it might aggravate the constipation thus Milk of magnesia or any other antacid with magnesium hydroxide with a chief component should be prescribed.
  • Magnesium hydroxide is a laxative that acts as a mild antacid.
  • Milk of magnesia has been reported of having diarrhea as a side effect, so the medication should be discontinued if Sally suffers diarrhea after taking the medication.
  • GERD is best treated with lifestyle changes that include high roughage in diet, water intake, and physical exercise. These prevent the built up of acid in stomach and maintain the intestinal peristalsis thus regularizing the bowel movement and relieving acid acccumulation.

Osmosis causes water to move from areas of low salt concentration to areas of high salt concentration. The internal NaCl concent
WITCHER [35]
<span>Red blood cells normally have a biconcave shape (picture a donut, but instead of a hole through the centre there's just a downward slope to the centre of the cell). If the cell takes on water, it will increase in size and the sloped areas will start to flatten out. If the cell loses water, it will begin to shrivel. Use these observations and your understanding of osmosis to answer the question!</span>

Match each phrase with the correct answer. Group of answer choices Organism in a lichen that provides protection [ Choose ] Orga
jekas [21]

Answer:

Organism in a lichen that provides protection - algae

Organism in a lichen that provides nutrients through photosynthesis - algae

Branched growth form of lichen - fruticose

Leafy growth form of lichen - foliose

Small and flat growth form of lichen - crustose

Explanation:

<em>Lichens are composite organisms that are formed from symbiotic relationships between fungi and cyanobacteria/algae. The Green algae layer offers food to the fungi by photosynthesis while the latter supplies nutrients and offers protection to the algal component. </em>

There are different types of lichen based on the growth structure:

Fruticose lichens grow upright and shrubby and posses either round or flat branches.

Foliose lichen appears like a leaf with upper and lower layers. They are usually flat or convoluted in nature.

Crustose lichens are small in appearance with flat, crusty growth on surfaces on which they grow.

Which statement describes the ability of the cell membrane to allow various substances to move tbrough it?
sweet [91]

The statement that describes the ability of the cell membrane to allow various substance to move through is that the cell membrane is preamble and allows only certain substances to pass through.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is preamble, hydrophobic molecules and small polar molecules diffuse through lipid layer. The integral membrane proteins enable large polar molecules to pass through the membrane.

Some molecules can cross the membrane like hydrocarbons and oxygen. Whereas the large molecules like glucose and sugars cannot cross. The water pass through lipid.
