Answer:

Beta Blocker

Explanation:

Some of the side effects of Beta blockers on children include:

low blood pressure, sleepiness, lightheadedness, dizziness. tiredness, weakness, nausea and dry mouth.

Beta blockers will ensure that the smooth muscles in blood vessels gets relaxed; this will lead to dilation of the blood vessels and thereby a decrement in the child's blood pressure.

The child's muscles will then become contracted in the airways which will definitely lead to the constriction of the respiratory tree.

expeople1 [14]
Although tube worms cannot produce their own food, they often thrive around these underwater vents. They are able to survive because inside the tube is the trophosome, an organ that contains millions of bacteria in symbiotic relationship with the worm, which are responsible for feeding these creatures that do not have any type of digestive system or visual organs, as they live in the most absolute darkness.

Why are communities that are m+re diverse usually more stable ?
MrRissso [65]
Lets say that there is an disease or infection on a certain species, if the community was not very diverse then that whole species will be effected because they are all alike. This can lead to an extinction of that species which then leads to the a possible collapse in the community due to the change in food webs.
More diversity equals to more stability because these risks have a fewer chance of happening.
I hope all of that makes sense(;
