Answer:

B) hypertension and bradycardia.

Explanation:

Autonomic dysreflexia is a syndrome which is characterised by the sudden rise in the blood pressure of the human. The disease is common in the people with a higher level of spinal cord injuries above the T6 level.

The condition occurs when some external stimuli like pain or irritant activate the involuntary response in the body which cause the blood pressure to rise (hypertension). This leads to the slowdown of the heartbeat (bradycardia) to restore the blood pressure but the body cannot restore the blood pressure due to the damage in the spinal cord.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.

What does the ocean do to the CO2 in the atmosphere?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

It absorbs.

Explanation:

The ocean absorbs carbon dioxide from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Wind causes waves and turbulence, giving more opportunity for the water to absorb the carbon dioxide. Fish and other animals in the ocean breathe oxygen and give off carbon dioxide (CO2), just like land animals.

Which of the following is not required for osmosis to occur?
Damm [24]

Answer:

Cellular energy

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water from a less concentrated to more concentrated solution across a semi-permeable membrane. Cellular energy is not required in osmosis because it is a passive process. Osmosis is technically more or less the selective diffusion of water molecules across a membrane  that selectively locks out other larger molecule like ions. Water will, therefore, move from the solution where there are more water molecules to the solution with fewer water molecules.

Suppose humans accidentally introduced a non-native species to a can of warriors bird to the region if these birds feeder school
jekas [21]
This would negatively impact the native bird species and the fish population as well as any other underwater species such as smaller fish and algae as they may have overgrowth and could even become an invasive native species over time because the food chain would be disrupted. The native bird species wouldn’t have much food supply and would either die off or migrate to another place, and the feeder schools of fish (large fish) would probably also eventually die off because they would be over dominated with multiple species feeding off of them. The natural food chain already established would be disrupted.
