The question is not complete, the complete question is:

The nurse asks a patient to say "ahh" while performing suctioning. What is the rationale behind this intervention?

To facilitate breathing

To elevate the bronchial passage

To assist in opening the glottis

To permit the flow of secretions into the mouth

Answer:

Making the sounds such as "ahh" helps in opening the glottis to allow entry of the catheter into the trachea. Making sounds such as "ahh" may not help in breathing. Turning the head of the patient to the side elevates the bronchial passage on the contrary side.  

Continuous coughing may allow the flow of secretions into the mouth from the upper respiratory tract.

C. The cell must be a plant cell. 

Only plant cells have cell walls. Bacteria cells and animal cells do not. Both animal cells and plant cells have membrane-bound organelles, but since the student saw a cell wall, it must be a plant cell.

Hope this helps! :)

Elephant seals are abundant in their population size but they have low genetic diversity within their species due to overhunting
Anastasy [175]
<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>

Explanation:

If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct

  • Genetic diversity is the diversity  or genetic variability within species
  • The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
  • While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
  • Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
  • In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
  • The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits
