Answer:

The decreased pH level below 7.39 and an increase partial pressure of Carbon dioxide above 45 mm Hg. is considered as a direct result of respiratory acidosis caused by hypercapnia.

Explanation:

  • Hypercapnia is a condition in which carbon dioxide levels in blood are elevated than the normal.
  • This results when amount of carbon dioxide exhaled is less than the amount of carbon dioxide produced in the body tissues.
  • Accumulation of Carbon dioxide in the blood results in formation of carbonic acid and lowers the pH of the blood making it too acidic.
  • This condition is known as acidosis.
  • The increased amount of carbon dioxide in the tissues results in increased partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO₂).
  • Thus , increased  pCO₂ and lowered pH are physiolgic findings that are considered as direct result of respiratory acidosis.

Alexxandr [17]
The best answer would be letter D. C<span>ompare the average number of tomatoes that are produced by 10 tomato plants that are grown in clay soil to the average number of tomatoes that are produced by 10 tomato plants that are grown in sandy soil.

It would be best to grow more than one tomato plant in each soil to truly represent the tomato's growth in them. To average the number of tomatoes yielded by each soil sample would also allow a sample that is more representative of the tomato plants than merely comparing single tomato plants.

Why is it important that scientists haven’t identified a Lokiarchaeota cell yet?
Alex_Xolod [135]
Scientists are working hard to find out more about cells, so they should know all of the cells. The Lokiarchaeota cell is one of the only ones they have yet to find out stuff about. Scientists also need to know about it because it is apart of our body and maybe sometimes they can cause infection in the body. Scientists need to know if it could lead to to some of the biggest infections ever.

in conclusion, the answer is because it can be the deadliest cell
