Answer:

1. Decreased hematocrit.

2. Increase in daily weight.

5. Decreased blood urea nitrogen level.

Explanation:

1. The hematocrit level shows the ratio of red blood cell to total volume of whole blood. When the hematocrit level is decreased it indicates that the concentration of red blood cell in whole blood has decreased hence, proves the child is hydrated.

2. Rehydration (improvement of water retention or restoration)  is directly proportional to daily weight gain, since water has a significant weight (1 litre of water is approximately 1 kilogram. Therefore, increase in the child weight proves that the child is rehydrated.

3. Clinically blood culture doesn't give an information about water content or hydration.

4. Sedimentation rate is used to determine the rate at which red blood cells settles in a test tube; an increased sedimentation rate shows increased inflammatory processes.

5. Blood urea nitrogen level is inversely proportional to blood volume. Therefore decreased blood urea nitrogen level indicates rehydration, this shows the concentration of blood components are low compared to the total blood volume.

Biologists use their observations on a small island to construct the food web shown. Their calculations indicate that the produc
Lelechka [254]

The flow of energy from one level to another does not happen with 100% efficiency. The producers only transfer 10% of the energy they absorb from the Sun. The major chunk of the absorbed energy goes into the growth of the producers, the rest gets lost in the form of waste (shedding of leaves, reproduction, etc.) and the remaining 10% is the amount that is available to the primary consumers. So by this logic, if there is 150,000 KJ of energy available at the producer level, then, only 15,000 KJ of energy will get transferred to the primary consumers.

What chemicals regulate the cell cycle how do they work?
Molodets [167]
Cyclins are the chemicals that regulate the cell cycle. Cyclins work by regulating the timing of the cell cycle in eukaryotic cell. Cyclins activates cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs) (an enzyme that works by adding <span>negatively charged phosphate groups to other molecules in a process called phosphorylation) by binding to it to form a cyclin-Cdk complex. This complex then functions by acting as a signal to the cell to move to the next cell cycle phase. At the end of the event, the cyclin is degraded, Cdk is deactivated, therefore signaling exit from a specific phase.</span>
