The nurse should recognize this as Chvostek sign.

<h3>What is Chvostek sign?</h3>

A clinical indication that someone may have low blood calcium levels is the Chvostek sign (a decreased serum calcium, called hypocalcemia). The aberrant twitching of muscles that are stimulated (innervated) by the facial nerve  (also known as Cranial Nerve Seven, or CNVII) is known as the Chvostek sign.

The facial muscles on the same side of the face will occasionally contract when the facial nerve is touched in front of the ear (called ipsilateral facial spasm). Frequently, the muscles that regulate the nose, lips, and brows will spasm.

The stems of bamboo, a tropical grass, can grow at the phenomenal rate of 0.3 m/day under optimal conditions. Given that the ste

Answer:

Approximately 6944 glucose residues are added enzymatically per second

Explanation:

Cellulose is the main structural polysaccharides in plants. It is composed of unbranched glucose monomer units linked to each other by beta 1-4 glycosidic bonds.

The cell wall and stem of plants cells are composed of cellulose fibers. They provide rigidity and support to the plant.

In the given bamboo plant, the enzymatic addition of glucose units to the growing cellulose fiber chains results in the phenomenal growth rate of the bamboo stem.

Since each glucose unit contributes ~0.5 nm to the length of a cellulose molecule, number of glucose units required for daily growth is calculated as follows:

0.5 nm = 10⁻⁹

0.3 m/0.5 x 10⁻⁹ m = 600000000 units of glucose per day

Number of seconds in a day = 24 * 60 * 60 = 86400 seconds

Number of glucose residues added per second = 600000000/86400

Number of glucose residues added per second = 6944.4 glucose molecules per second

Therefore, approximately 6944 glucose residues are added per second

All topsoil was destroyed after a volcanic eruption. Which process does this series of photographs best describe?
Tamiku [17]
The process, primary succession, would best describe the series of photographs when all of the topsoils were destroyed after the eruption. There is just one thing to remember about this, that the primary succession occurs on the land that has nothing and is the soil building process.
