The _____ of water molecules explains how some insects can walk on water

Biology
1 answer:
Minchanka [31]3 years ago

<span>Water has a surface skin. Some insects are able to generate tiny bubbles under their bodies which makes them buoyant enough to not break thru the water's skin. This skin is also known as surface tension. </span><span>Some bugs and small objects (pins or paperclips, etc) can rest on the surface of the water due to surface tension. Water molecules are bipolar and attract each other forming a skin. The bug or paperclip make tiny depressions in the water skin which provides buoyancy. A detergent will ruin the water tension (because it is a wetting agent) and the bug or paperclip will sink.</span><span>

Answer:

c. in renal dysfunction, dosage reduction is necessary to avoid seizures

Explanation:

Imipenem is an antibiotic which is given in combination with cilastatin. It is used to treat pneumonia, joint infections, urinary tract infections, sepsis etc. It kills bacteria by interfering with its cell wall formation process. It is metabolized in kidney reducing its half life so cilastatin is given with it to halt its renal metabolism.

Imipenem belongs to carbapenem family of antibiotics. Carbapenem antibiotics can cause seizures specially in people with nervous system disorders or renal failure. Dose must be reduced in patients with renal (kidney) dysfunction otherwise patient's kidneys will be damaged more and since they are already in weak state, it can prove dangerous to the patient.

Could producers survive without consumers? explain why or why not
arlik [135]
Producers could not survive without consumers. Produces rely on consumers to purchase their product, if no one buy their product, then the producer has no money to even produce anything. This like a car, the car is the producer, and the gas is the consumer, the car will not work unless there is gas. So a producer will not survive without the consumer.
