Caitlin is hospitalized and the initial blood work indicates low levels of bicarbonate in the blood, this would indicate the individual is probably suffering from metabolic acidosis and is breathing faster than normal.

When the body produces too much acid, metabolic acidosis occurs. It can also happen if the kidneys are unable to adequately eliminate acid from the body. Acid buildup due to increased acid synthesis or acid consumption, decreased acid excretion, or gastrointestinal or renal bicarbonate (HCO_{3}) loss can all contribute to metabolic acidosis.

The classification of metabolic acidosis depends on whether the anion gap is high or normal. People with metabolic acidosis frequently experience nausea, vomiting, and exhaustion. They may also breathe more rapidly and deeply than usual.

Therefore, the individual is probably suffering from metabolic acidosis and is breathing faster than normal.

just olya [345]

Answer:

1. fragmentation- genetically identical

2. budding- genetically identical

3. haploid cells from two different mycelia fuse to form a zygote- genetically distinct

4. one hyphae creates spores through mitosis- genetically identical

Explanation:

1) Fragmentation is a form of asexual reproduction i.e. one parent, employed by certain organisms including fungi in which a FRAGMENT breaks off from the single parent to produce new cells. Since it is an asexual reproduction, the resulting cells will be GENETICALLY IDENTICAL.

2) Budding is another form of asexual reproduction that fungi undergoes e.g yeast. In the budding process, buds develop on the parent cell and later grow into mature cells that are GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to the parent cell.

3) In fungi, two different mycelia can produce haploid sex cells via the process of meiosis, which then fuse to produce a ZYGOTE. This method is a sexual means of reproduction. Hence, the zygote formed will be GENETICALLY DISTINCT from the parent.

4) Hyphae (threadlike filaments) of a fungi can via MITOTIC DIVISION produce spores, which then germinates under favorable conditions and grows into a new fungus. This new fungus cell is GENETICALLY IDENTICAL to the parent hyphae.

Explain how the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

Sodium (Na) and Chlorine (Cl) are two electrolytes that play important role in the absorption of water and nutrients in the small intestine. However, as mentioned in the question, the release of sodium and chlorine would lead to a loss of water in the intestines. This is because of the OSMOTIC phenomenon.

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration of water/low concentration of solute to a region of low concentration of water/high concentration of solute via a semipermeable membrane. In this case, the Na+ and Cl- ions serve as the solutes, which when released out of the intestine causes the solution in the intestines to be HYPOTONIC compared to the intestinal environment. This causes an OSMOTIC GRADIENT.

This osmotic gradient i.e. difference in concentration provokes osmotic flow of water from the intestines, which has a low solute/high water concentration, to the outside of the intestines, which has a high solute/low water concentration. Hence, water is lost from the intestine because the solute concentration becomes low when sodium and chlorine ions are released.
