The abiotic factors of a stream ecosystem involves salt, water, rocks, sediments and trash. This includes the temperature of the water, how much oxygen it contains, how acidic or basic it is, how fast or slowly, and how much sunlight penetrates the surface. A stream ecosystem is the ecosystem of a river viewed as a system operating in its natural environment, including biotic factors and abiotic factors.

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.

How does a cow use the sugar molecules stored in the grass it eats?
11111nata11111 [884]

ANSWER: A living organism intakes food, it breaks down into mostly water and large organic molecules. These large organic molecules are Fat, Proteins, Glucose, Starch and Cellulose. These molecules are still not usable by the cells so the body breaks these large polymers into small monomers.

In cow's muscles, protein muscles are built by tapping 4 amino acid monomers. Fat muscles are built by tapping 3 fatty acid monomers and 1 glycerol molecule.

Cows use glucose molecules to mix with oxygen to release chemical energy in cellular respiration. Cows can make fat molecules and glucose molecules because fatty acids and glycerols are made up of same atoms, C, H and O.

a 24 kg rock containing 3,528 j of potential energy rests upon the edge of a cliff how tall is the cliff
GenaCL600 [577]
Potential gravitational energy is computed with the formula:

PEgrav=mgh

Where:
PEgrav = Potential gravitation energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
h = height (m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2) 

Take note that acceleration due to gravity is a constant. 

All you need to do is put in what you know and solve for what you don't know. So your given is the following:
PEgrav = 3,528J
m = 24 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Put that into your formula:
PEgrav=mgh
3,528J = (24kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(h)
3,528J = (235.2kg.m/s^{2})(h)
\frac{3,528J}{235.2kg.m/s^{2}} = h
15m=h

The height of the cliff is 15m.
