The first thing to do is activate
EMS. Use cool or cold water to cool the burn for 10 minutes as soon as
possible. ( Do not use ice or frozen compress.) Early cooling will minimize the
depth of injury and decrease pain. Remove jewelry near the affected area. Cover
the injury with dry, clean pad loosely
to protect it. Do not give food or drink to injured person. Keep him comfortable
until EMS arrives and takes over.
The Grand Canyon of Arizona is one of world’s largest and
steepest canyons. It ranges up to 277 miles long and 18 miles wide. Its
formation is carved due to the erosive power of the water’s current. As heavy rains continue to occur, more rocks
and stones erode and fall which adds length and width to the Grand Canyon.
A muskrat population is growing exponentially. What might cause this population to enter logistic growth?
Answer: One cause that might cause the population of this semi aquatic rodents to enter a logistic growth would be the elimination of predators from their environment and the increase of food. The reason being that they are rodents with an adaptable lifestyle and an omnivorous diet. With no predators they would quickly adapt to their environment and increase their birth rate.
I hope it helps, Regards.
Answer:
Anterior end
Explanation:
You have a pretty good shot at guessing this, because the earthworm has very little going on at the posterior end except the anus. And you probably saw this in lab, too.
I've attached a picture of the earthworm anatomy. Worms can't smell in the strictest sense, but they can use their receptors as kind of a combo smell-taste thing, and those are located in the anterior end.
Answer: Individuals with a high concentration of cysteine in their urine, show symptoms of cystinuria.
Explanation:
Cystinuria is an hereditary and rare disease in which stones of an amino acid called cystine form mostly in the kidney but also in the ureter and bladder. This is a dimeric amino acid which is formed by two cysteine molecules linked by a disulfide bond. L-cysteine is a non-essential sulfuric amino acid found in a wide variety of foods, some of which are proteins. <u>This condition is passed from parents to children so it is hereditary, the person must inherit the defective gene from both parents. </u>
Cystinuria is caused when there is a high concentration of cystine in the urine. Normally, most cystine dissolves, enters the kidneys and returns to the bloodstream. <u>However, people with cystinuria have the genetic defect that interferes with this process. </u>This condition is due to a defective transport of cystine in the apical membrane of the intestinal epithelium and proximal renal tubule. The result is an absence of cystine reabsorption in the renal proximal tubule producing an excess of cystine in urine and with the consequent formation of kidney stones. Cystine stones are very difficult to remove by lithotripsy unlike the rest of the stones. Therefore, a non-invasive therapy should be carried out to prevent the recurrence of stone formation. This therapy would be based on a high intake of liquids, alkalization of urine, and use of chelating agents. In order to preserve kidney function, a combination of these three therapeutic measures is necessary to reduce both the recurrence and the morbidity of the disease.
