Answer:

50 insulin syringes.

Explanation:

Injection of insulin is done under the skin in the fat by using different methods which are discussed below:

Insulin pens

Syringes
Insulin pumps

Insulin is injected under the fatty tissues called sub-Q tissues.

Syringes comes in different ranges:

Each line on the 100 unit syringe mark 2 unit of insulin.

Each line on the 30 and 50 unit syringe mark 1 unit of insulin.

According to the question we have 100 unit of u-100 insulin which means the nurse will give 50 insulin syringes.

All parts of fungi are composed of ____________ , or thin filaments of cells, packed closely together to form the main body of a

MAVERICK [17]

The right answer is hyphae for the first gap, mycelium for the second gap.

The hyphae constitute the vegetative apparatus of the mushrooms, while the visible part, that which is improperly called mushroom, is in fact its reproductive apparatus.

Hyphae are less branched filaments consisting of a single cell that can be several centimeters long. They contain several nuclei and can sometimes be partitioned.

The mycelium is a part of the mushroom (composed by many hyphae), which is in the form of white filaments and grows about fifteen centimeters under the ground. It is this part of the mushroom that has therapeutic properties because the filaments of the mycelium are going to draw the minerals in the soil.

kow [346]

Answer:

Glucose

Oxygen gas

Explanation:

Glucose is a non-metallic carbohydrate substance. It is the monomeric unit of the digestion of complex carbohydrate.

This compound is very important to all lives. The energy needed to power the activities in the body are derived from the compound.

It is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Also, oxygen gas is used by animals for their metabolic processes. The gas combines with glucose to release chemical energy for use in the body. This molecule is purely made up of two atoms of oxygen that are covalently bonded together.

Anytime we breathe, we take in oxygen for use in our body

Which of the following does NOT characterize proteins?

8090 [49]

Answer:

The answer is C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information.

Explanation:

Why NOT C) They appear to be the molecular carriers of coded hereditary information?

This is the job of the nucleic acids. It is composed of nucleotides which are the basic units of DNA and RNA. They carry genetic information about a certain organism.

<h3 /><h3>True of proteins:</h3>

A) They may be denatured or coagulated by heat or acidity.

Denaturation is the destruction of the protein's secondary and/or tertiary structures. The primary structure is not disrupted due to the tough peptide bonds and can only be broken down by acid. For heat denaturation, hydrogen bonds are destroyed, as in cooking of egg whites and medical equipment sterilization.

B) They have both functional and structural roles in the body.

There are many kinds of proteins that have functional and structural roles like hormones (FSH, LH), antibodies (IgA, IgM), enzymes (lipase, amylase), for storage/transport (hemoglobin, ferritin), and locomotion (actin, troponin).

D) Their function depends on their three-dimensional shape.

Just like hemoglobin, it's quaternary structure can carry 4 molecules of iron in one go. Enzymes are shaped accordingly to fit a specific substrate (lock-and-key model)

In Drosophila, straight wings are dominant to curved wings (c), smooth eyes are dominant to sparkling eyes (spa), and tan body i

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{8}$

Explanation:

Straight wings are dominant over curved wings

Let Straight wings : H

curved wings : t

smooth eyes are dominant to sparkling eyes

let smooth eyes = H

spark ling eyes = t

tan body is dominant to ebony body color.

Again; Let tan body color be H

Let ebony color be t

If flies that are heterozygous for all three traits are crossed;

we have HtHtHt × HtHtHt

Then the selected trihybrid traits for the cross will be (HHH,HHt, HtH, Htt, tHH, tHt, ttH, ttt)

We will realize that from the punnet square in the diagram below, the proportion of the offspring would you expect to be heterozygous for all three traits (i.e HtHtHt) is asterisk in the punnet square and will be $\frac{8}{64}$

= $\frac{1}{8}$
