A living organism is a cell that is similar to the humanoid ones. This excludes cells such as plant cells. A living organism also had to be able o make proteins for itself, such as humans do. A human would be a living organism. An animal would be a living organism.
D - The number of amino acids in proteins being produced.
A is obviously incorrect as environment affects everything.
B is incorrect as cells would, well, affect the environment as well.
C is incorrect as timing helps coordinate gene expression.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
C. Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis
Explanation:
When the partial pressure of CO2 in systemic arteries falls below 35 mmHg, the condition is called respiratory alkalosis. Since pCO2 levels are below 35 mmHg (25 mmHg given), Kelsey is suffering from respiratory alkalosis. Alkalosis is also confirmed by higher pH levels (pH = 7.51).
The ratio of CO2 and HCO3 is around 1:1 (pCO2= 25 mmHg : HCO3= 22 mmEq/L) and confirms the "Uncompensated respiratory alkalosis". The compensated respiratory alkalosis reduces the HCO3 levels far below and exhibits the CO2: HCO3 ratio in the range of 10:2 to 10:4.
