I inferred you are referring to Violet instead.

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>she chews "Gobstoppers" which are not meant for chewing.</u>

Explanation:

Remember, it all started when Violet entered the inventing room and she began to show an interest in gobstoppers, believing them to be similar to gum, even though they were not meant for chewing.

After ignoring the warning from Wonka, she begins chewing the gum which leads her body to swell.

Answer:

Methemoglobinemia

Explanation:

Methemoglobinemia (also known as the blue baby syndrome), is a condition with multiple etiologies which is associated with the lack of oxygen in the blood. This syndrome affects the function of red blood cells by altering the amount of hemoglobin protein, which carries and distributes oxygen to the body. Methemoglobinemia may be acquired by exposure to drugs and/or toxins. In this regard, it has been shown that high levels of nitrates in the water may induce this syndrome in infants.

A student investigated whether ants dig more tunnels in the light or in the dark. She thought that ants used the filtered light
allsm [11]

Answer:

Please see below

Explanation:

  1. Source of light, measuring tool (the string and ruler), ant food, ant farms
  2. Whether or not the tunnels created by ants differ in length depending on the amount of light available
  3. More tunnels are dug by ants during the daylight hours
  4. The hypotheses will probably come out to be true since ants are usually hiding away from predators during the night
  5. The presence of light
  6. The length of a particular tunnel
  7. Perform a trial under normal conditions (room light)
  8. Inaccuracy or inconsistency in measurements

Because the earth's axis is tilted. ... It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. Many people believe that the temperature changes because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter. In fact, the Earth is farthest from the sun in July and is closest to the sun in January!

6. Delete any base (between the READING FRAME, excluding the start and stop codons) and show the change in the amino acid sequen
kati45 [8]
This is the DNA. I'm going to only use the upper strand to demonstrate what this strand would code for before and after a single bp deletion (so write it as mRNA). I will also write it how it's easier to see this which is to split them up into the 3 base codon system. Note that you don't need to know the amino acid code - you use a table to find these.

ORIGINAL (mRNA on top, Amino Acid (AA) on bottom:

5'-AGC GGG AUG AGC GCA UGU GGC GCA UAA CUG-3'
    SER  GLY  MET SER ALA  CYS GLY ALA  STOP LEU 

Note that the protein would stop being made at the stop codon and the LEU wouldn't matter at the end...

Now, I will remove one bp...(I bolded it up top). Rewrite the mRNA and find the corresponding AA...

NEW
5'-AGC GGG AUG GCG CAU GTG GCG CAU AAC UG-3'
   SER  GLY  MET  ALA  HIS   VAL  ALA   HIS  ASN .....

Completely different amino acid sequence after the methionine (MET). The stop codon is gone...the protein would continue being translated until it reaches another stop codon...so not what was supposed to be made!

To what extent do you believe mrs. zahari received effective, safe, and patient-centered care?
bogdanovich [222]
In patient-centered care, all healthcare decisions and quality measurements are driven by the individual's specific health needs and desired health outcomes. The patient is always a partner to the health care provider, thus following these eight principles. (1)respects for patient's values, preference and expressed needs; (2)coordination and integration of care; (3) information and education; (4)physical comfort; (5) emotional support and alleviation of fear and anxiety; (6) involvement of family and friends; (7)continuity and transition; and (8)access to care. Mrs Zahari is considered to receive effective, safe and patient-centered care if she is treated not only on the clinical perspective but also on the emotional, mental, social, spiritual and financial perspective and the health care provider follows the eight principles of patient-centered care.
