Ecosystems maintain themselves by cycling energy and nutrients obtained from external sources. At the first trophic level<span>, </span>primary producers<span> (plants, algae, and some bacteria) use solar energy to produce organic plant material through photosynthesis. Herbivores—animals that feed solely on plants—make up the second trophic level. Predators that eat herbivores comprise the third trophic level; if larger predators are present, they represent still higher trophic levels. Organisms that feed at several trophic levels (for example, grizzly bears that eat berries and salmon) are classified at the highest of the trophic levels at which they feed. Decomposers, which include bacteria, fungi, molds, worms, and insects, break down wastes and dead organisms and return nutrients to the soil

Answer:  

Lake is a type of natural ecosystem as it possesses both biotic ( living components such as plants, algae, micro-organism, and animals) and abiotic (nonliving components such as water, light, temperature, oxygen content, pH of water) factors.

The different living organisms are related through the flow of energy ( in the form of organic matter) in the food chain ( a linear network between organisms, representing energy transfer in the form of organic matter) that takes place within this ecosystem.  

For example-  

Phytoplanktons ( microscopic plants) and algae-  they are autotrophic organisms that form the base of the food chain as they synthesize their own food through photosynthesis. They occupy the first trophic level and called producers.

Producers are eaten by primary consumers such as zooplankton, small fishes, ducks ( which all are herbivores).

Primary consumers are eaten by secondary consumers such as large fishes.

In this manner flow of energy occurs between different organisms in the lake.

*Sickle cell disease is a constitutional corpuscular hemolytic anemia related to an abnormal structure of the globin chain. It is an autosomal recessive disease, which means homozygosity is necessary to fully express the illness.
*It corresponds to the synthesis of an abnormal hemoglobin, HbS, which is different from normal Hb (HbA).

*The S allele (located in the chromosome 11), responsible for the anomaly, is especially widespread in the African continent, it is also found in other regions of the Mediterranean.

You have just delivered a premature baby. Your assessment reveals that he is breathing adequately; however, his heart rate is 90
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

The answer is letter B, keep him warm and ventilate with BVM.

Explanation:

In order to know more about the answer, let's check out the meaning of "Premature Baby" first.

Premature Baby- a baby born through premature birth <em>(fewer than 37 weeks).</em>  Babies are normally born at the usual <em>40 weeks.</em> Health problems may occur with premature babies, thus it is very important to monitor them.  

In the situation above, the premature baby's heart rate is only 90 beats/min. <em>A resting heart rate for a newborn infant is 130-150 beats per minute. </em>This means that the baby above has a slow heart rate. In order to increase the hear rate, it is important to keep the baby warm and to ventilate with a "Bag Valve Mask" (BVM). <u><em>An increase in internal temperature increases the heart rate. Increasing ventilation will also help increase the heart rate. </em></u>

<u><em>Remember: </em></u>Inhalation increases the heart rate.
