7 0

Answer:

The tail of an ATP molecule is made up by 3 phosphate groups link together by the help of 2 high energy phospho anhydride bonds.

Explanation:

ATP or adenosine tri phosphate is an energy rich compound that contain adenine base, ribose sugar and 3 phosphate groups.

                  These 3 phosphate groups makes up the tail of ATP molecule.The 3 phosphate groups are designated as alpha phosphate,beta phosphate and gamma phosphate starting from the C5 atom of ribose sugar.

          When ATP undergo hydrolysis the terminal phosphate group or the gamma phosphate group is cleaved from the ATP molecule resulting in the formation of ADP and inorganic phosphate along with the generation of high amount of free energy that is utilized by the cell to perform various cellular and physiological activities.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

C. Bronchial

Explanation:

The different types of lung sounds, also known as breath sounds differ from each other with respect to their location, pitch, relative duration, and intensity.

The bronchial breath sounds are heard just above the clavicle on either side of sternum bone and are characterized by loud amplitude, harsh quality, and high pitch. The bronchial breath sounds are hollow tubular.

The bronchial breath sounds have a short period of silence between the inspiratory and expiratory sounds. The expiratory bronchial sounds last longer than the inspiratory bronchial sounds (I<E).

An 80-year-old client with a history of coronary artery disease is admitted to the hospital for observation after a fall. during
lara31 [8.8K]
Orthopneic

The client's paroxysmal dyspnea was probably caused by sleeping in bed with the legs at the level of the heart; this position increases venous return from dependent body areas, increasing the intravascular volume. Sitting up and leaning forward while keeping the legs dependent slows venous return as well as increases thoracic capacity. Although the contour position elevates the client's head, it does not place the legs in a dependent enough position to substantially decrease venous return. The recumbent position is contraindicated. Venous return increases when the lower extremities are at the level of the heart. Also, the pressure of the abdominal organs against the diaphragm decreases thoracic capacity. The Trendelenburg position is contraindicated. Venous return increases when the lower extremities are higher than the level of the heart. Also, the pressure of the abdominal organs against the diaphragm decreases thoracic capacity.
