Answer:

The decreased pH level below 7.39 and an increase partial pressure of Carbon dioxide above 45 mm Hg. is considered as a direct result of respiratory acidosis caused by hypercapnia.

Explanation:

  • Hypercapnia is a condition in which carbon dioxide levels in blood are elevated than the normal.
  • This results when amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is less than the amount of carbon dioxide produced in the body tissues.
  • Accumulation of Carbon dioxide in the blood results in formation of carbonic acid and lowers the pH of the blood making it too acidic.
  • This condition is known as acidosis.
  • The increased amount of carbon dioxide in the tissues results in increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂).
  • Thus , increased  pCO₂ and lowered pH are physiolgic findings that are considered as direct result of respiratory acidosis.

Q. A person’s blood glucose level fluctuates during the day, asrepresented in Figure 1. Two hormones, insulin and glucagon,are di
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

If the person has another meal after 5 pm, the glucose level in the blood will increase, and the insulin level too.

Several hours after the meal, the glucose levels will decrease, and the glucagon levels will increase.

Explanation:

When a person ingests another meal after 5 p.m, the glucose levels in the blood will increase, as the body does not need all that glucose right now the insulin levels in the blood will increase to store glucose for later. The glucagon levels after a meal are very low because the aim is to store glucose not use it.

Several hours after the meal, the body needs the energy to keep operating so it will use the glucose that was stored, to do this, the levels of glucagon in blood have to increase and release the glucose, and the levels of insulin in blood have to decrease.

kirza4 [7]

The answer is B. Warm current move away from the equator towards the poles while cold currents concurrently move towards the equator. This process is known as thermohaline circulation. The cold currents due to higher density move in the great depth of the oceans while the warmer currents are on the surface due to their relatively lower density.
