Answer:

Serum potassium level of 2.6 mEq/L

Explanation:

Chemotherapy has many side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, fever, etc. Vomiting and diarrhea can affect the fluid and electrolyte balance adversely in the body. This can lead to a reduction in the serum potassium level.

A low level of potassium in the body can lead to weakness, cramp, paralysis, twitch, abnormal heart rhythm, etc. The normal blood potassium level is 3.6 to 5.2 millimoles per liter so a serum potassium level of 2.6 mEq/L is the finding that indicates a chemotherapy-induced complication.

What role does hot ion-rich water play in the process of metamorphism?
Anna [14]
<span>Water flows downhill, eroding the host rock to make it smooth. Water cleanses the iron­bearing minerals, which helps to delineate the crystal faces. Water boils the rocks that it comes in contact with, causing them to liquefy and slowly cool and harden into a new, stable state. Water interferes with mineral crystallization, thereby delaying the process of metamorphism. Water migrates into host rock carrying ions to stable minerals in order to facilitate growth of new metamorphic minerals. </span>

in the reaction c o2 → co2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. what mass of oxygen would be nee
Strike441 [17]
From the given balanced chemical reaction,
                                   C + O2 -> CO2
the mass ratio of the carbon and oxygen that is needed for the reaction is 12:32. Simplifying the ratio gives 3 unit mass C is to 8 unit mass O2. Given 18 g of carbon,
           18 g x (32 g oxygen / 12 g carbon) = 48 grams. 
For the given product, the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide is 32: 44.
                      72 g CO2 x (32 g O2 / 44 g CO2) = 52.36 grams

________ are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.
forsale [732]

Answer:

The cells of the visual cortex are neurons in the brain's visual system that respond to particular features of a stimulus.

Explanation:

These neurons respond to stimuli presented to both eyes. Simple cells receive innervation directly from thalamic cells and respond to light stimuli with defined orientation and with specific configuration and location in the visual field. Complex cells also respond to the orientation parameter.  

These cells trigger action potentials when the visual stimulus appears within their receptive field.
