Consider a stab wound in upper abdomen which has pierced through upper/ventral wall of stomach. This is what medically called as gastric perforation and requires emergency surgical management within 4 to 12 hours of injury. If left unattended the person will develope distension of abdomen with vomitting within 4 to 6 hrs, fever within 12 hrs, all because of infection spreading to rest of abdomen ( medically called Peritonitis). If no surgery is undertaken the person will die due to sepsis within 24 to 48 hrs.

Situation 2: stab would injuring major vessel or even liver will pool blood in abdomen ( medically Hemoperitonium) will further worsen the situation and wld need more intensive management. If not treated properly such person can die within 6 to 12 hrs due to hypovoluemic shock.

During osmosis, water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane from the region of higher _______ concentration and lower _____ concentration to the side with lower _______ concentration and higher _______ concentration .

Answer:

During osmosis, water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane from the region of higher free water concentration and lower solute concentration to the side with lower free water concentration and higher solute concentration

Explanation:

Osmosis is a biological process that takes place in cells and allows a substance to pass through the plasma membrane. Through osmosis, the plasma membrane, water can pass into and out of the cell through a gradient of solute concentration, that is, water passes from the place with the lowest concentration of solute to the place with the highest concentration, allowing thus the balance between the inter and extra cellular medium.

hjlf

Answer:

c. They may evolve into two separate species as a result of disruptive selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection wherein some extreme change in the surroundings favor two distinct phenotypes while trimming off the mean. Here, the environmental conditions favor more than one phenotype. In the given example, disruptive selection would favor the light-colored lizards in the sandy region while the dark-colored would be favored in rocky regions due to their respective survival success.

With time, these two populations would accumulate more variations and reproductive isolation would not allow them to interbreed and thereby two distinct species of lizards would evolve.
