The nurse should first select an area to perform the hyphodermoclysis, outside of the elbow is usual but the back of the hand is fine too. Then the nurse must apply a tourniquet 10 cm before the selected area, so it blocks blood circulation. After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.

The process of ____________ increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
otez555 [7]
The phrase to fit into the blank is "sexual reproduction"!
In sexual reproduction each of the parents produces a gamete and contributes to half of the  offspring's genes. This means that the offspring is a unique composition of the two parents.

In contrast, in a asexual reproduction, the offspring would likely have the same genetic code as the parent.

The binding of a compound to an enzyme is observed to slow down or stop the rate of the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme. Increa
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is A the compound is a competitive inhibitor

Explanation:

Competitive inhibitor competes with the substrate to bind to the active site of the target enzyme and after binding to the active site the inhibitor slow down or stop the reaction catalyzed by that enzyme.

          Competitive inhibitor basically effects the Km value of the enzyme thus decreasing the activity of the later.

           Increasing the substrate concentration displace the inhibitor from the enzyme"s active site thus reducing the inhibitory effects of the later thus increasing the activity of the enzyme.

After having read, how do you think pollution in one sphere can have an impact on another? Be specific and explain.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Pollution can impact other spheres

Explanation:

Okay here ya go :)

As more and more pollution occurs it can cause the ozone layer to slowly start to decay in a way as the sphere get thinner. What this impacts is the troposphere. Since the ozone layer starts to fade away it can't filter out as much harsh rays from the sun. Those rays eventually get to the earth's surface and bounces off the surface warming up the earth causing life to be affected in the troposphere by warming up the earth.
