The initial dose is 100 units of regular insulin added to a normal saline solution IV. In continuous insulin infusions, short acting insulin such as insulin lispro, insulin aspart, and insulin glulysine is used until blood sugar level normalizes. The use of dextrose containing IV fluid (i.e. D5LR) is on standby in the case when hypoglycemia ensues.

How do autotrophs and heterotrophs benefit one another within an ecosystem​
hodyreva [135]

Autotrophs and Heterotrophs benefit each other by providing raw materials for various life processes ,directly or indirectly .

Explanation:

  • Autotrophs can prepare their own food by using sunlight .This  is not possible for Heterotrophs. Heterotrophs obtain their food from Autotrophs.
  • Heterotrophs Feed on Plants and helps them in Pollination and Seed dispersal.
  • Autotrophs Carry out photosynthesis and produce  oxygen which is taken up by heterotrophs for respiration. Heterotrophs in turn, give out Carbon dioxide which is used up by autotrophs.
  • Heterotrophs like detrivores and decomposers obtain there food from decaying plant parts and thus break down the nutrient which is then made available to plants.

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Mutation, fertilization, meiosis are different mechanisms by which changes can occur in the genome.

Explanation:

There are several process which is responsible for causing change in the genome of the species which results in the evolution of that species. Some of these processes are:

1. Mutation: In mutation, some nucleotide sequences get change and this change can occur due to frameshift, addition, deletion or any other process. This change in nucleotide can be seen in phenotype and helps in the evolution of the species.

2. Fertilization: During fertilization mixing of the genome of two individual takes place which results in producing a genetically distinct offspring which contains variation. So as the offspring is genetically different it can contain new alleles that can help the individual to survive in the changing environment.
