Ingestion of foreign substances by macrophages and yeast cells by an amoeba is known as <u>Phagocytosis</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Phagocytosis that is the name given to the process of ingestion of foreign particles by macrophages. In human body the white blood cells does this function. Macrophages is found in all the tissues. Any foreign particle entering the body is engulfed by this process hence protecting the organisms.

Once a bacteria enters the body it is at once detected and recognised as the foreign particle. Then it is attached to the phagocyte. Then it is engulfed into a vesicle called phagosome. Then this is killed by the process of phagocytosis.

20. Explain how health care professionals treat unregulated (or abnormal) cellular growth in the body
goldenfox [79]

Unregulated and uncontrolled cell growth is the most common simple definition of cancer. Because of the many types of cancers and a huge range of possible symptoms, treatments are also very diverse. Type of treatment also depends on cancer stage at diagnosis, and the patient's overall health. Some forms of treatment:

• Chemotherapy-usage of chemicals (medications) that target rapidly uncontrolled dividing cells,

• Hormone therapy

• Immunotherapy-usage of the medications that boost the immune system

• Radiation therapy-usage of radiation to kill the cancer cells

• Surgery

• New approaches such as stem cell therapy or personalized therapy.

Describe an environmental factor that could influence natural selection and increase genetic diversity. Pick a specific example
ELEN [110]
Populations have a genetic variation among individuals and that is important to the populations ability to survive in different situations that have an affect on the natural selection. There are different factors which can increase or decrease the genetic diversity, and influencing natural selection. These factors can include an environmental factor, one of the major factors, which can cause changes in the genetic variation of a population and influence the natural selection. A famous and important example of the environmental factors affecting natural selection was made during the industrial revolution when many more gray moths made up the moth population. This was so that they could blend in with the soot from factories to avoid predators.

​a client with hypovolemia has been prescribed intravenous fluid at 125ml/hr. the iv site to provide hydration has infiltrated.
Levart [38]

The following are the steps the nurse would take to treat the infiltrated site:  

1. Stop the infusion and remove the catheter

2. Elevate the extremity

3. Encourage an active range of motion

4. Apply a cold or warm compress depending on the solution infusing

5. Restart the infusion proximal to the location or in another extremity

Now, in order to address hydration requirements of the client, the nurse will have to begin a novel peripheral intravenous in another extremity or to again start the infusion if intravenous access has been created.

Why does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver whi
Debora [2.8K]

This is because if the two  metabolic processes were to be  active at at the same time;  

Two molecules of<u> ATPs</u> and <u>Guanosine triphophate </u>(sometimes used for  energy transport) <u>will be expended per each cycle, with no  compensatory rate  of replacements present  at the moment in the cell,this  affects cell metabolism for energy availability</u>

<u>2</u> Both<u> Glycolysis and Gluconeogensis </u>are both<u> exergonic processes  in cells. </u> The  heat energy liberated from these Calorinogenic effects  will be higher than what the natural thermodynamic barrier of cells can withstand. Consequently;  the heat will raise temperature of the cells affecting metabolic activities of hormones and enzymes which are (proteins) ,and easily denature by high temperatures.    

However, in muscles cells,gluconeogeneis is a compensasory process of Glycolysis. This because during active exercise with high metabolic demand in muscles cells, glucose is rapidly metabolise  to to pyruvate,(but not at the rate that the Citric acid  cycle can  metabolise) for Lactic acid production by muscles cells for energy production.  Pyruvate must be broken down rapidly so that NAD+ will be available for  Glycolysis to continue. Therefore  to sustain Glycolysis at this rate  continuous supply of glucose is supplied  from Gluconeogenesis.
