It might cause harmful changes in the serum phosphorus and other electrolytes. So, Refeeding syndrome so dangerous.

<h3>What is serum phosphorus?</h3>
  • The serum phosphorus test quantifies the phosphate levels in the blood.
  • A vein, typically on the back of the hand or the inside of the elbow, is used to draw blood.
  • When hypoparathyroidism, parathyroid gland does not produce enough parathyroid hormone.
  • Body contains too much vitamin D.
  • A diet that is too high in phosphorus.
  • Although the terms "phosphorus" and "phosphate" are sometimes used interchangeably when discussing tests.
  • A serum phosphorus/phosphate test actually measures the amount of inorganic phosphate in the blood.
  • Phosphates are essential for the synthesis of energy, the health of muscles and nerves, and the development of bones.
  • Although serum inorganic phosphate only represents a very small portion of the body's total phosphorus, it is easily quantifiable and provides information on the body's phosphorus reserves.
  • Phosphate is mostly found in the body in an organic form as a compound with lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates.

1. Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snall populations? Explain why the same method would not be useful for counti
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.
